"STATEMENT IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE CZECH ELBIT 11
On 20th March 2026, a fire destroyed a warehouse facility in Pardubice, Czechia. This facility was owned by Czech arms manufacturer LPP Holding. According to their own words, LPP Holding had planned to use this site for a project with Elbit Systems, Israel's largest arms manufacturer. The police have since arrested eleven people for their alleged connection with this fire; six of them were arrested in Czechia, three in Poland, one in Slovakia, and one in Bulgaria - The Czech Elbit 11.
Eight of them are currently held in pre-trial detention in Czechia, many of them under harsh conditions. They can be legally held for up to 4 years without any conviction. The remaining three activists arrested in Poland spent nearly three months in jail and are for'now being prosecuted at liberty.
The accused activists are being charged with two different crimes: taking part in a terrorist attack and membership in a terrorist organization. These charges carry a sentence of 12- 20 years with the possibility of a life sentence.
The Czech Elbit 11's lawyers are being denied complete access to the evidence against their clients. This severely impacts their ability to prepare a strong legal defense.
Other local activists are continuing to face police intimidation and harassment, with their homes being raided and their devices confiscated indefinitely. Even those who are just witnesses are being taken off the streets and their devices are being confiscated without any indication as to when they might be returned.
LPP Holding is a prominent manufacturer of drones and other weapons technologies in Central Europe. In 2023, they announced plans for opening a production and training facility in collaboration with Elbit Systems. In subsequent interview, Amir Bettesh (VP of Marketing & Business - Elbit's Unmanned Systems Division) stated that "[Elbit] chose LPP because we cooperated for years." This is in stark contrast to their claims following the fire that the "cooperation with Elbit Systems has never materialized".
We, the undersigned individuals and organizations, pledge our unwavering solidarity with the Czech Elbit 11.
This moment demands swift international opposition and solidarity across borders. We join with the CzechElbit11 and our fellow people of conscience against the use of arbitrary and undemocratic accusations of "terrorism" to silence opposition to genocide and rising authoritarianism.
As part of our ongoing demand to stop the Czech government's participation in the genocide in Palestine, we demand:
• Immediate release on bail of all defendants of the Czech Elbit 11
• Reclassification of the fire in Pardubice from an act of terrorism to arson
• Access to all evidence and right to a fair trial - ensure the detainees' basic civil rights
• An end to the police harassment and intimidation - no more arrests, being taking off the streets, house raids, interrogations or device confiscations
• An independent investigation into LPP's participation in the war crimes committed by Elbit Systems, and immediate termination of their cooperation and divestment from Elbit SystemsSupport CzechElbit11 by signing this statement at:
