Palestinian Activists Trial: Elbit Factory Attack

Six pro-Palestinian activists, members of the now-banned Palestine Action, are on trial in London for allegedly attacking an Elbit Systems UK factory in Bristol. The group is accused of causing significant damage with crowbars, hammers, and red paint, and using fireworks and smoke grenades to deter security personnel. The defendants, aged 21-31, have pleaded not guilty to charges including aggravated burglary, violent disorder, and criminal damage. One defendant also denies causing grievous bodily harm with intent to a police officer. The incident was meticulously planned, with two teams involved and a former prison van used to gain access.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
