“They inspired me and thousands of others to fight for Palestine too.”
She added: “The past 18 months have been harrowing, and I now need to take her home to heal and rebuild our lives. She has lost everything – her home in London and her livelihood – but not her dignity.”
Clare Rogers, whose daughter Zoe Rogers was due to start a degree in autumn 2024, also praised the activists as “people of conscience”.
“They were motivated by a desire to save lives,” she said.
“They tried every possible democratic route before they took this action.
