Four Palestine Action activists jailed after Bristol Elbit raid

Four Palestine Action activists were jailed after a retrial for breaking into the Elbit Systems factory near Bristol, causing about £1.2m in damage and injuring a police officer. Samuel Corner received seven years eight months for criminal damage and grievous bodily harm; Charlotte Head got five years for driving a prison van into the compound; Leona Kamio also received five years; Fatema Rajwani was sentenced to four years eight months. The judge said the acts were designed to influence the government, and the case is noted as a terrorism-connected criminal damage conviction. The raid was livestreamed, protests occurred outside the court, and Palestine Action has been proscribed as a terrorist organisation, though the High Court later ruled the proscription unlawful.

Britain designates protest damage as terrorism in unprecedented ruling

A UK judge for the first time added a terrorism connection to the criminal-damage convictions of four Palestine Action activists who raided an Elbit Systems UK plant, sentencing Leona Kamio and Charlotte Head to six years, Fatema Rajwani to five years eight months, and Samuel Corner to eight years eight months. Jurors had convicted them only of criminal damage, not terrorism. Justice Jeremy Johnson said the acts were intended to intimidate the UK government and public to advance a political cause, allowing a sentencing boost under section 69 of the Sentencing Act. The ruling followed a forensic report estimating about £1.2 million in damage, a report whose timing and reliability were questioned by the defence. Two co-defendants were cleared, and protests gathered outside the court.

"Disgraced Police Officer Quits Before Sacking Over Violent Rampage"

A police officer, Kia Pulford Stone, admitted to assault by beating and criminal damage before leaving the force to avoid being sacked.

Pulford Stone, who had only recently become a full-time officer with Merseyside Police, pleaded guilty to both offences and has been barred from taking on any policing role in Britain.

Children's Ghostly Adventure Turns Costly as $1.5M Home Falls Victim to Chainsaws and Axes

A group of seven children, some as young as 11, caused £300,000 worth of damage to a £1.2 million home on the Isle of Wight, using chainsaws, axes, and sledgehammers. The father of one of the children said they may have targeted the house because they believed it to be haunted. The children admitted to causing criminal damage and were fined, with six of them ordered to pay £1,500 each in compensation. The owners, who were on vacation at the time, described the attack as "mindless" and stated that it would take a long time to recover financially and emotionally.
