Four individuals are now in custody following an incident at RAF Brize Norton involving damage to two Voyager aircraft. The arrests stem from an action claimed by the activist group Palestine Action.
The Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) confirmed that a 29-year-old woman and two men, aged 36 and 24, were taken into police custody. The incident occurred at the RAF base on June 20th.
Additionally, a 41-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
Footage circulated online, purportedly from Palestine Action, depicted individuals within the Oxfordshire base. One person was shown riding an electric scooter towards an Airbus Voyager air-to-air refuelling tanker and spray painting its jet engine.
The four arrests were made in London and the Newbury area of Berkshire on Thursday.

This is what activism looks like! Bold and unafraid to confront the powerful.

How does damaging aircraft help the Palestinian cause? This just makes people more angry and less sympathetic.

Actions like these show that people won’t sit idly by while injustices occur. We need more passionate activists!

Let’s not forget the brutal realities faced by Palestinians. They’re fighting for their lives, and every action counts.
