A London jury has been discharged after failing to reach verdicts against seven Palestine Action activists accused of coordinating a raid on an Israeli-owned arms factory, Middle East Eye reported. The jurors could not agree on guilty verdicts for the defendants facing charges related to the operation against the facility.
The case centered on allegations that the activists had organized the raid on Elbit Systems, an Israeli defense contractor. With the jury unable to reach consensus, the court discharged them, leaving the defendants without convictions on the coordinated action charge.
