Watch: Palestine Action activist speaks out after release from jail

Palestine Action protester Zoe Rogers has no regrets after spending 18 months on remand in jail before being freed last week.

In a massive blow to the government, after they decided to proscribe proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist group last July, on 4 February jurors either acquitted or failed to reach a verdict on every charge against Rogers and her five co-defendants from the Elbit Systems raid.

Zoe is currently waiting to hear whether she’ll face a retrial.

The Observer’s Home Affairs Editor, John Simpson, went to meet Zoe for an exclusive interview to talk about the raid and how she’s feeling now she’s out.
