Court

Charges

Bundle of criminal damage, burglary, threatening to damage property, possessing articles, and encouraging criminal damage, covering several 2020-21 actions. Not every defendant was on every count.

Outcome

Verdict date

2023-12-23

Result

Jury returned 12 not-guilty verdicts. Richard Barnard convicted of one count of criminal damage and given a conditional discharge. Jury hung on 23 other counts. Six defendants (Barnard, Ammori, Scherer, Cooney, Brouard, Arnott), later called the Elbit Six, were listed for a retrial, reported as listed into 2027. Declassified UK later reported Elbit lobbied the Home Office for that retrial.

Summary

First major consolidated Palestine Action prosecution. Trial opened 13 November 2023. Defendants rejected a plea deal under which Ammori and Barnard would plead guilty and the others would be acquitted. Prosecution witness Ofer Meishar, Elbit chief security officer, did not attend; the report says an Israeli government letter said he could not leave Israel.

Court

Arrests reported; this file does not have a single consolidated public judgment covering every Oldham occupation.

Charges

Reported arrests for criminal damage, burglary, aggravated trespass and obstruction across the three occupations. February 2021: eight arrests, damage put at about £20,000. March 2021: five arrests, damage put at over £100,000.

Outcome

Result

Elbit sold the Oldham site to TT Electronics and closed it in January 2022. Campaigners and several outlets treated the closure as the result of the repeated occupations. No single public judgment disposing of every defendant was located in this pass.

Summary

Series of occupations and blockades, including one with Extinction Rebellion North on 1 February 2021, a break-in and roof occupation on 14 March 2021, and a further occupation on 23 August 2021 in which two women were arrested.

Summary

Five people occupied the roof of the Govan factory on 1 June 2022. Two entered the building. A smoke device was set off in an area where staff were being evacuated. The Court of Appeal later treated this, with Instro and Filton, as one of three incidents of serious property damage in the proscription appeal.

Note

Reporting uses Filton 6, Filton 18, Filton 24 and Filton 25 for overlapping groups. Twenty-four people were charged in connection with the 6 August 2024 action. Not every name of the wider 24 was confirmed from a primary court list in this pass.

Court

Woolwich Crown Court, Mr Justice Jeremy Johnson (first six); second group at the Old Bailey before Judge Patrick Field KC; a retrial listing was later mentioned at Manchester Crown Court

Charges

Aggravated burglary, criminal damage, violent disorder. Samuel Corner also faced GBH with intent. CPS did not charge a terrorism offence but asked the judge to treat the offending as having a terrorism connection under s.69 Sentencing Act 2020.

Outcome

First trial verdicts

2026-02-04. All six not guilty of aggravated burglary. Rajwani, Rogers and Devlin not guilty of violent disorder. No verdict on criminal damage, or on Corner's GBH count, or on violent disorder for the other three.

Rest of 24

2026-02-18. Al Jazeera reported the remaining defendants were formally acquitted of aggravated burglary after the prosecution offered no evidence.

Retrial

2026-05-05, Woolwich. Head, Corner, Kamio and Rajwani guilty of criminal damage. Rogers and Devlin not guilty. Corner not guilty of GBH with intent; guilty by 11-1 of GBH without intent.

Sentences 2026-06-12

Charlotte Head

6 years less 45 days, plus a driving disqualification

Leona Kamio

6 years less 45 days

Fatema Rajwani

5 years 8 months less 45 days

Samuel Corner

8 years 8 months, covering criminal damage and GBH without intent

Terrorism connection

Johnson ruled the criminal-damage offences had a terrorist connection. Reporting describes this as the first time a UK criminal-damage conviction was sentenced with that enhancement. The finding was not a count on the indictment and was not left to the jury.

Second trial

From 22 June 2026, eight alleged organisers. Wikipedia and later reporting: jury acquitted William Plastow of violent disorder; after 37 hours, Sean Middlebrough guilty of criminal damage; no verdict on seven others. A retrial was provisionally listed, with dates reported as June 2027 or June 2028 depending on the outlet. Treat the relisting date as unsettled.

Contempt

Contempt proceedings were opened against defence barrister Rajiv Menon KC over his first-trial closing speech. Jurisdiction was disputed; a substantive hearing was adjourned.

Site

Elbit later closed the Aztec West site. September 2025 is the date given on the Wikipedia page.

Summary

On 6 August 2024 people entered the Filton Elbit site. Prosecutors said damage was about £1 million to £1.2 million, and that a police officer, named in Wikipedia as Kate Evans, suffered a spinal fracture. The six people accused of being inside were held on remand for about 17 months before the first trial, which ran from 17 November 2025. The judge refused a necessity/Gaza defence. Five of the six were bailed after the February acquittals on aggravated burglary; Corner was not. At the retrial the judge restricted what the defence could tell the jury. Sentences in June 2026 totalled a little over 26 years before the 45-day deductions.

Court

Merseyside Police announced three arrests after the October occupation. A completed public judgment for the October case was not opened in this pass. Wikipedia says three of four defendants later received suspended sentences and the fourth a community order; that sentence report was not separately opened here, so treat it as secondary.

Charges

Criminal damage alleged. CAGE says the October occupation was claimed to have compromised clean rooms.

Outcome

Result

5 July 2024: a van was driven through the gates and the site was sprayed; arrests reported. 2 October 2024: roof occupation; three arrests. Production impact of 'up to twelve months' is a claim in the CAGE report and secondary coverage, not a court finding located here.

Summary

Two distinct actions at the same Wirral factory.

Court

Old Bailey. Trial opened early October 2026 before this file was compiled. Prosecutor Anne Whyte KC. All nine deny the charges.

Charges

Criminal damage, burglary with intent, violent disorder. Reporting also says the CPS has considered a terrorism connection at sentence. That is not a charge.

Outcome

As of

2026-10-17

Result

Trial in progress or just opened. No verdict in the sources opened for this file. Seven people were arrested on site in June 2024 and bailed. Nine are now on the indictment. Campaign nickname 'Instro 10' does not match the nine names read in court.

Summary

Dawn entry on 17 June 2024. The prosecution case, as opened in October 2026, is that one group confronted security while another entered the building, and that a guard, Billy Dennis, was struck and sprayed. A security Land Rover was damaged. Damage and any export-licence consequence are disputed or unproved; do not treat campaign claims of a cancelled licence as a court finding.

• Muhammad Umer Khalid
• Lara Downes

Court

Old Bailey. Five pleaded not guilty on 16 January 2026 before Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb and were remanded. Trial was listed for 18 January 2027, estimated eight weeks. Lara Downes was charged on 14/15 May 2026.

Charges

Conspiracy to commit criminal damage, and conspiracy to enter a prohibited place for a purpose prejudicial to the safety or interests of the UK, under the National Security Act 2023 and the Criminal Law Act 1977. Not charged under the Terrorism Act for the break-in itself.

Outcome

As of

2026-10-17

Result

No trial verdict yet. Damage figures in open court and police statements conflict: an early £7 million figure; later £1.7 million spent with a possible rise toward £15 million. The prosecution has said the total was not final.

Summary

People entered the base on 20 June 2025 and sprayed two Voyager aircraft. Palestine Action claimed it. Four people were charged on 3 July 2025, a fifth in August, a sixth in May 2026. The incident was the immediate public trigger for proscription, although the later Court of Appeal judgment also relied on the longer record, including Thales, Instro and Filton.

Action dates

• 2025-06-23
• 2025-07-05

Location

High Court and Court of Appeal, London

Target

The Home Secretary's decision to proscribe Palestine Action

Defendants

• Claimant: Huda Ammori. Defendant: Secretary of State for the Home Department.

Court

King's Bench Divisional Court and Court of Appeal (Civil Division)

Charges

Not a criminal case. Judicial review of an order under section 3 Terrorism Act 2000 adding Palestine Action to Schedule 2.

Outcome

Order

Decision taken 20 June 2025. Order made 4 July 2025, in force 5 July 2025. Commons vote reported as 385 to 26.

Permission

[2025] EWHC 1708 (Admin), Chamberlain J, and [2025] EWCA Civ 1311 (17 October 2025) on permission / interim issues. A further permission judgment is cited as [2025] EWHC 2013 (Admin).

Divisional court

[2026] EWHC 292 (Admin), 13 February 2026, Dame Victoria Sharp PQBD, Swift J and Steyn J. Proscription quashed as contrary to the Home Secretary's own policy and disproportionate under Articles 10 and 11 ECHR.

Court of appeal

[2026] EWCA Civ 721, 15 June 2026. Home Secretary's appeal allowed on both grounds. Quashing order set aside. Proscription held lawful. Cross-appeal on procedural fairness and Article 14 refused. A Scottish petition, Murray v Advocate General (COS-P1017-25), was noted as ongoing.

Summary

The legal status of the ban changed twice in 2026. From 13 February to 15 June the High Court quashing stood. From 15 June the Court of Appeal reinstated the ban. Support, membership and uniform offences under sections 11 to 13 Terrorism Act 2000 attach again. Maximum on indictment for sections 11 and 12 is 14 years.

Location

Parliament Square and nationwide, including Norwich and the Labour conference in Liverpool

Target

The proscription itself. The act alleged is displaying a sign reading 'I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.'

Defendants

• Early named defendants include Jeremy Shippam, Judit Murray, and later Tim Crosland, David Nixon, Dawn Manners, Gwen Harrison, Melanie Griffith and Patrick Friend. Muhammad Rabbani of CAGE was arrested on 4 October 2025. Most of the hundreds arrested are not named in open reporting.

Court

Magistrates' courts. Charges under sections 12 and 13 Terrorism Act 2000, authorised in batches by postal charge requisition.

Charges

Inviting support, or displaying an article in a public place in such a way as to arouse reasonable suspicion of membership or support.

Outcome

Result

Arrest totals, which differ by outlet and by the hour they were counted: 29 on 5 July 2025 in Parliament Square, three later charged; 70+ on 12 July; 100+ on 19 July including 55 in Parliament Square; Met said 474 on 9 August, later revised by the BBC to 532 of which 521 were for the placard; more than 425 on 6 September; 66 in Liverpool on 29 September including an 83-year-old; a further mass vigil on 4 October. First three defendants pleaded not guilty on 16 September 2025. CPS said on 5 September 2025 that charged cases had reached 138, plus 24 more. These numbers moved quickly and should be re-checked against CPS releases.

Summary

After proscription, Defend Our Juries organised open sign-holding. The criminal allegation is the sign, not property damage. Banksy's Royal Courts mural of 8 September 2025 is a related news event, not a prosecution.

About 20 branches on 10 June 2024, including Moorgate, London; Chatham High Street on 24 June 2024. CAGE and Palestine Action claimed 54 actions over a year.

Target

Barclays branches, over shareholdings in Elbit Systems Ltd

Defendants

Not recorded

Court

Three arrests reported at Moorgate. No consolidated judgment located.

Charges

Criminal damage alleged at branches: smashed windows and paint.

Outcome

Result

SEC filings reproduced by Middle East Eye, The Canary and Ethical Consumer showed Barclays reporting 0 ELST shares in the filing after 15 May 2024, down from 16,345 shares. Barclays told Middle East Eye it was not a shareholder 'in that sense' and that the position was not a policy divestment. Campaign groups called it a divestment. Both the filing change and the bank's denial are part of the record.

Summary

A branch-damage campaign through 2024, cresting on 10 June, aimed at Barclays' disclosed Elbit position. The October 2024 filing change is documented. Causation is claimed by the campaign and disputed by the bank.

Court

A December 2024 jury acquittal of two people is reported by The Canary and the Morning Star. The CAGE report links an acquittal to people arrested at the October 2023 action. The April 2024 car action has a separate charging report.

Charges

Criminal damage. October 2023: a van was driven through the gates. November 2023: four people aged 31, 23, 20 and 24 arrested over a lock-on blockade. April 2024: two people drove cars at bollards and locked on.

Outcome

Result

Canary, 21 December 2024, and Morning Star report two acquittals. Which exact incident those two defendants were tried for should be checked against the indictment; the CAGE report places an acquittal on the October 2023 arrests.

Summary

Three further actions at the same Leicester drone factory after the 2021 roof occupation.
