On Saturday 3 January, 2026, at 1pm, the Auckland Branch of the revolutionary communists will hold a picket outside the British Consulate, on the corner of Queen St and Wyndham St, Auckland CBD.
The picket is in solidarity with 24 Palestine Action activists who have been held without trial under anti-terrorism laws since August 2024 by the Labour government of Kier Starmer. Eight of the activists have been on hunger strike for over 50 days in protest at their conditions.
The crime of these activists was to protest the genocide in Gaza by breaking into a manufacturing hub of Elbit systems (which supplies the Israeli military) and dismantling some military equipment.
