UK pro-Palestinian activists not guilty of aggravated burglary at Israeli firm's factory

LONDON, Feb 4 (Reuters) - ⁠Six ‌British pro-Palestinian activists were ⁠acquitted on Wednesday of aggravated ‍burglary relating to a 2024 raid ‍on a factory operated by Israeli ⁠defence firm Elbit, with a jury unable to reach verdicts on ​charges of criminal damage.

Prosecutors at London's Woolwich Crown Court said the six defendants, whose ‍trial began in November, were ‌members of the now-banned group Palestine Action, which ‌organised the assault on the Elbit Systems UK facility in Bristol, ‌southwest England, in August last year.

The ​six – Charlotte Head, 29, Samuel Corner, 23, Leona Kamio, 30, Fatema Zainab ⁠Rajwani, 21, Zoe ‍Rogers, 22, and Jordan Devlin, 31 – all ​denied charges of ⁠aggravated burglary, violent disorder and criminal damage. (Reporting by Sam Tobin; editing by Michael Holden)
