Six Palestine Action activists will face a retrial over alleged damage and violence at a UK site of an Israel-based defence firm.
Charlotte Head, 29, Samuel Corner, 23, Leona Kamio, 30, Fatema Rajwani, 21, Zoe Rogers, 22, and Jordan Devlin, 31, are accused in connection with a break-in at an Elbit Systems site near Bristol.
They were cleared of aggravated burglary earlier this month but the jury could not decide on criminal damage charges against all defendants, as well as allegations of violent disorder against Head, Corner, and Kamio.
Prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said aggravated burglary charges against 18 other defendants who are accused of taking part in the break-in will be dropped.
She said Head, Corner, Kamio, Rajwani, Rogers and Devlin would face a retrial in relation to all charges against them which had not ended in verdicts.
Woolwich Crown Court was told the retrial was planned for 16 February 2027.
The hung jury at the first trial – which began in November and finished on 4 February – deliberated for more than 36 hours.
Corner was accused of causing grievous bodily harm with intent but the jury was unable to reach a verdict on that charge.
Rajwani, Rogers and Devlin were acquitted of violent disorder.
Palestine Action allege Elbit Systems UK is involved in the manufacture and supply of weapons to the Israeli military – a claim the company strongly denies.
The charges relate to a break-in at Elbit Systems’ site in Filton in the early hours of 6 August 2024. Footage of the attack was uploaded to social media.
