Four Palestine Action activists are convicted of criminal damage connected to a raid on a UK base linked to an Israeli defence firm. The Daily Mail reports that Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio and Fatema Rajwani were found guilty at Woolwich Crown Court of criminal damage following the incident in the early hours of 6 August 2024. The outlet describes the raid as a £1m operation and says it left a female police officer with a fractured spine.
Following the verdicts, the defendants seek to challenge aspects of the sentencing process. The report states they demand that the trial judge be blocked from sentencing them, alleging bias. The request is tied to their conviction and upcoming sentencing, but the available reporting does not include details of the judge’s conduct or the legal basis for the challenge.
No other information is provided in the supplied extracts about the evidence presented, the prosecution’s case, or the final sentencing outcome, which is expected only after the court addresses their application.
