Two Palestine Action activists acquitted
A JURY has acquitted two Palestine supporters after hearing they were preventing a greater crime by attacking an Israeli-owned weapons factory in Leicester.
The two Palestine Action activists appeared at Leicester Crown Court charged with conspiracy to cause criminal damage.
The pair drove a van into the main gates of the UAV drone factory in Leicester on October 18 2023, lit flares, unfurled a Palestinian flag and covered the entrance in red paint symbolising Palestinian blood shed by Israel.
