Six Palestine Action activists were acquitted of aggravated burglary charges at Woolwich Crown Court in London, following a break-in at Elbit Systems' factory in Filton, near Bristol, on August 6, 2024. The activists, Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, Fatema Rajwani, Zoe Rogers, and Jordan Devlin, were accused of using sledgehammers and threatening unlawful violence during the incident. While Rajwani, Rogers, and Devlin were also found not guilty of violent disorder, the jury could not reach verdicts on criminal damage charges for any of the defendants. Furthermore, no verdict was reached regarding allegations against Corner for inflicting grievous bodily harm on a police officer, or against Head, Corner, and Kamio for violent disorder. The charges stemmed from a protest against the Israeli defence firm.
