Three anti-genocide activists have again been found not guilty of violent
disorder at an Israeli weapons factory in Bristol.

Palestine Action activists, Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner and Leona Kamio, were
all acquitted at Woolwich Crown Court on Monday, 13 April.

The three had already defeated the charges when a jury refused to convict
them. However, the Starmer regime ordered a retrial and was 'secretly' charging
them with terrorism by linking the ordinary criminal charges to supposed
terrorism, without informing the jury, to allow for longer sentences.

Despite home secretary Shabana Mahmood's clear intent to make a political
example of the trio, the Crown Prosecution Service ultimately informed the court
it had no evidence to offer against them.

Judge Justice Johnson formally acquitted the three. Had they been convicted,
they could have faced up to 20 years in prison.

The activists are still facing charges for criminal damage. Corner is also
charged with grievous bodily harm - in spite of video evidence refuting the
claims of police and the Elbit arms maker's security guards during the first
trial.

Fatema Zainab Rajwani, Zoe Rogers and Jordan Devlin also face criminal damage
charges.
