On remand since: July 3rd 2025
Trial date: 18 January 2027
Lewie was arrested by counter-terrorism police in connection to the action at RAF Brize Norton where an alleged £7million worth of damage was caused to two military aircraft. 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.
Lewie 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
Lewie has been standing in solidarity with the hunger strike since the beginning, he tells us:
I am in support of and in solidarity with [Qesser and Amu’s] hunger strike. I believe violence can be loving and Alhamdulillah this suffocating microcosm that the ruling class warmongers wish to portray as the overarching and natural state of social justice is nothing more than a desperate retaliation of a group of people so afraid to lose what they’ve stolen that they’re willing to sacrifice every second of their time on earth and all their energy to destroy something that is indestructable and inevitable. My love goes out to the intifada and to all the oppressed people in the world. Please bless us with strength. I love you.
On 24th November, Lewie joined the hunger strike on alternate days, despite being type 1 diabetic. This could still be life-threatening in his condition.
Today I wrote that I support the hunger strikers on a t-shirt and the prison stopped me from working my job in the servary and told me I wasn’t allowed to leave my cell until I hand the shirt back in.
I am diabetic so I can’t hunger strike [each day]. But I have decided to fast every other day in solidarity with the hunger strikers until the deal with Elbit Systems is cancelled or another necessary ending point.
I love you all. Thank you for hearing me.
