Palestine Action activist compared to suffragettes in court
AI Summary
Charlotte Head, a Palestine Action activist, is on trial at Woolwich Crown Court, accused of aggravated burglary, criminal damage, and violent disorder at an Elbit Systems factory in Filton on August 6, 2024, along with five co-defendants. Head's barrister likened her activism to that of the suffragettes, highlighting her dedication and challenging the perception of her actions. The defense argued that any violence was unplanned and that Elbit Systems plays a role in the deaths of Palestinians. The prosecution rejected the claim that Corner's use of a sledgehammer against a police officer was self-defense, arguing the force used was excessive and unrelated to protecting others. The six defendants deny the charges.
