Palestine Action trial: Jury retires to consider verdict in Elbit Systems case

A jury in the UK has retired to consider its verdict in the trial of six Palestine Action activists. The defendants are charged with aggravated burglary, criminal damage, and violent disorder for a raid on a factory owned by the Israeli arms company, Elbit Systems. The prosecution claims the activists intended to injure security guards with sledgehammers if necessary. The defense argues the tools were only for damaging property as a form of protest against the company's involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
