United Kingdom - Three activists who defaced an Israeli drone engines factory in the UK were found not guilty of criminal damage on Monday.
The two-day trial took place at Newcastle-under-Lyme Magistrates Court, near Stoke-on-Trent in central England.
Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori told The Electronic Intifada that the victory showed they were on the right track.
“We’re going to continue to take direct action in order to shut down and undermine Israel’s arms trade,” she said.
It was reassuring to have court backing for taking action against Israeli arms makers, she added, and that “to disrupt them and throw red paint over their buildings is something that’s perfectly within our rights to do.”
