Campaigners ask for trial support as Filton 24 becomes 25
The CPS has added Lewis Chiaramello from the ‘Brize Norton 5‘ to the prosecution of the ‘Filton 24’ anti-genocide activists – making them now the Filton 25. Chiaramello is scheduled to enter his plea this Thursday, 21 May 2026. The move comes as the state pushes to sentence four of the group as terrorists, despite them being convicted only of criminal damage. The Filton incident took place before the Starmer regime unlawfully banned Palestine Action as a terror group at the behest of the Israel lobby.
Filton 25: a show of support
Supporters have asked everyone who can do so to join them from 10am on Thursday 21st May outside Westminster Magistrates’ court for a demonstration. The “Free the Filton 24” campaign said:
The Filton case now has 25 defendants. We stand with Lewie, and Lewie stands with Palestine.
