The three face trial over charges of criminal damage at the UK site of an Israel-based defence firm

Three Palestine Action activists have been found not guilty of violent disorder at a UK site of an Israel-based defence firm.

Charlotte Head, 29, Samuel Corner, 23, and Leona Kamio, 30, were accused in connection with a break-in at an Elbit Systems site near Bristol.

At Woolwich Crown Court on Monday, Prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said the Crown Prosecution Service offers no evidence on the charge of violent disorder.

The three continue to face a charge of criminal damage along with Fatema Zainab Rajwani, 21, Zoe Rogers, 22 and Jordan Devlin, 31. Mr Corner also faces an additional charge of GBH with intent.
