Prison: HMP Bronzefield
Prisoner number: A1064FH
On remand since: July 3rd 2025
Trial date: February 2027
Amu was arrested and interrogated by counter-terrorism police for allegedly breaking into RAF Brize Norton, Britain’s largest airforce base, and decommissioning two military planes alongside three others. The action allegedly caused £7 million worth of damage. RAF Brize Norton facilitates daily flights to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, where military operations include the surveillance missions over Gaza providing the Israeli army with intelligence for the Genocide in real time, refueling fighter jets, and transporting weapons.
Amu was remanded to prison on charges of conspiring to enter a restricted area for purposes harmful to the UK’s safety and interests, and with conspiracy to commit criminal damage. Since being remanded, Amu’s fundamental rights have been abused by the prison. Their visits have been restricted, phone cut off, they have been put into solitary confinement for arbitrary reasons and have been subjected to random cell searches. Amu was also forcibly taken off their craft job for embroidering free Palestine on a cushion.
Amu reflects on their time in prison in a recorded message on their 30th birthday. Their first words are, “It’s not my birthday, it’s the 707th day of a genocide against Palestine.”
“Maybe I do have one wish,” they say, “that every year of my life will act as a handful of sand in the gears of this imperialist killing machine. And that we live to see the day it eventually, inevitably, grinds to a halt. Free Palestine.”
