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.
