Prison: HMP New Hall
Prisoner number: A9275FE
On remand since: Nov 19th 2024
Trial date: June 2026
Heba was arrested on November 19th 2024 in a dawn raid in the third wave of Filton arrests, on allegations of being connected to the Filton action, which saw over £1million in damage caused to Elbit’s research centre for Israeli weapons. She was arrested violently, and stripped of her clothes and dignity which left her deeply traumatised. Initially held and interrogated under counter-terrorism powers, she was then remanded in custody for a non-terrorism related offence making her one of the Filton 24.
In prison, Heba has been denied her fundamental human rights, including the right to privacy and a clean bed. Access to books and visits has been restricted, and she has been subjected to isolation and arbitrary cell searches that have violated her right to privacy and safety. Her kuffiya was forcibly removed from her by Yasmin Cooper, HMP Bronzefield’s head of security, despite Heba telling her she wears it as a hijab during prayers- meaning she is not allowed to keep it in her cell at all. In October 2025, Heba was forcibly transferred from HMP Bronzefield to HMP New Hall, hundreds of miles away from her family and support system.
