Seven charged under terror laws over protest at Israeli-based firm’s UK site
Police say employees and officers assaulted during protest at Elbit Systems UK building in Gloucestershire
Seven people have been charged using terror laws over a Palestine Action protest at an Israeli-based defence firm’s site, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
The incident happened at the Elbit Systems UK building near Patchway,
Gloucestershire, on 6 August. The CPS said it would be submitting to the court that the offences had a “terrorist connection”.
Avon and Somerset police said a group of people forced their way into the building, using a vehicle to smash through the doors, before employees were “seriously assaulted”.
The force said two of its officers who attended the disruption were also “seriously assaulted in the course of their duties”.
