A Palestine Action activist is set to appear as a speaker at Glastonbury Festival.
Francesca Nadin, who described herself as a former “political prisoner” and contributes to the Revolutionary Communist Party website, is listed as a speaker at the festival.
Nadin said she was arrested for “conspiracy to commit criminal damage” against two Leeds banks, Barclays and JP Morgan, that activists claim have financial ties to Israel.
Details of her presence at the festival emerged on the day that Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, confirmed that the group will be banned as a terror group following a break-in at the RAF base at Brize Norton.
A video shared by the group showed an individual on an electric scooter spray red paint into the engines of Airbus Voyager aircraft, which they claimed would be used to support British military operations in Cyprus and the Middle East.
As of Monday, official listings for Glastonbury Speakers Forum events state that Palestine Action’s Nadin is set to appear. The same event listing states that other speakers will include Baroness Jones, a Green Party peer.
Also listed is Sam Holland, the leader of Youth Demand, the activist group that claimed credit for vandalising Vincent Van Gogh’s Sunflowers in the National Gallery.
