The London Irish Brigade and others gathered in the capital on 30 April to deliver a letter to the German embassy. The letter supported, and demanded the release of, the ‘Ulm 5‘ prisoners held for months without trial for action.

As with the ‘Filton 24‘, imprisoned for more than 18 months by the UK government, the Ulm 5 are imprisoned for damaging equipment belonging to Israel’s Elbit Systems, making weapons for Israel’s Gaza genocide.

The prisoners are an international mix: Irish, Spanish, British, and German. Unsurprisingly, Keir Starmer has said nothing against Germany’s imprisonment of two Britons, nor its brutal repression of protest. How could he, when he has done the same?

The Brigade’s Frank Glynn gave a speech. He pointed out Germany’s attempts to ‘wash its hands of the Holocaust in the blood of the Palestinians’ – and of its shameful record in other genocides:
