Here we are sharing information about the Legal Defense Fund for those charged in connection with the sabotage that took place at the LPP Holding arms factory in Pardubice in March 2025. We express our support for the accused in their efforts to break free from the grip of the prison system. However, this does not mean that we must agree with all of their positions or with the political orientation of the group that administers the fund for their legal aid. We oppose the entire prison system. We support all imprisoned people in their resistance against the prison-industrial complex and the judicial bureaucracy associated with it.

Legal Defense Fund: CzechElbit10

The CzechElbit10 are currently held in Czech and Polish prisons, awaiting trial under harsh conditions and with no clear timeline for release. They face serious charges and need significant legal funds, urgently.

Without sufficient evidence, the Czech state has charged these activists with terrorism in connection with a fire at a facility in Pardubice owned by Czech arms manufacturer LPP Holding. The facility holds a direct contract with Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest arms manufacturer.

Your support pays for attorneys’ fees and court costs and ensures a robust defence. Funds are transferred directly to the law firm acting for the defendants.

The case

Between late March and early April 2026, authorities across Czechia, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Poland arrested ten people in connection with a fire on 20 March 2026 at the Pardubice site, associated with LPP Holding and Elbit Systems. Five are now held in Czech prisons with no evidence and with no clear timeline for release or trial. Others across four countries face ongoing raids, interrogations and device seizures.

How your donation will be used
