A pro-Palestine activist, identified as Olax Outis (also known as Caspar San Giorgi), is found not guilty of criminal damage after spray-painting the words “Zionist war criminal” on a statue of former Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill in Parliament Square.
According to reporting, the incident involves Outis climbing onto the statue while wearing a red boiler suit with the words “I support Palestine Action.” The outlets describe the case as related to political protest messaging and the act of marking a public monument.
The available coverage focuses on the court outcome—acquittal of criminal damage—rather than on detailed arguments presented. Differences in emphasis stem mainly from how the outlets identify the individual and describe the protest attire and location, while agreeing on the core facts: the Churchill statue, the “Zionist war criminal” graffiti, the Parliament Square setting, and the not-guilty verdict.
