In a joint collaboration between XR North and Palestine Action during February 2021, 8 activists occupied and damaged the Elbit Ferranti factory in Oldham.
Two who occupied the porch of Cairo House are charged with criminal damage of approx £5K. They pleaded not guilty to committing any crime, and their trial will begin on the 4th December 2024 at Manchester Crown Court.
Drew Robson is personally appealing to you to support him and Palestine Action activists in court.
