Five people have appeared in court over a Palestine Action protest at an Israeli-linked defence firm’s site.<\/p>\n

Members of the organisation allegedly armed with sledgehammers and whips are accused of breaking into the Elbit Systems site near Patchway, Bristol, in the early hours of August 6 2024, counter-terror police say.<\/p>\n

More than \u00a32 million of damage was caused and police officers and a security guard were assaulted, Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard this morning (July 19).<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say the alleged offences had a “terrorist connection”.<\/p>\n

Finn Collins, 20, from Whitstable in Kent; Harland Archer, 20, from Whitstable; Salaam Mahmood, 19, from Southmere Drive in Abbey Wood, south-east London; Moiz Ibrahim, 27, from Kilburn Lane in West Kilburn, north-west London; and Louie Adams, 33, from Hornsey, north London, were in court on Saturday charged with aggravated burglary, criminal damage and violent disorder.<\/p>\n

It came after a series of raids by Counter Terrorism Policing South East on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The five were remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on August 22.<\/p>\n

Ten people were arrested shortly after the incident in August 2024, and a further eight in November.<\/p>\n

All 18 were later charged and are awaiting trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Westminster Magistrates’ Court(Image: PA Archive\/PA Images) Five people have appeared in court over a Palestine Action protest at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":274721,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8818],"tags":[381,748,188,393,4884,13466,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-274720","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bristol","8":"tag-bristol","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-crime","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-terrorism","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114879945994122367","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274720\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/274721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
