An alleged Palestine Action activist has been found not guilty of violent disorder – after a judge ruled there was not enough evidence to proceed with the charge.
William Plastow, 35, is one of eight defendants facing trial at the Old Bailey following a break-in at a UK site of an Israeli defence firm in August 2024.
The defendants are jointly charged with criminal damage and violent disorder at the Elbit Systems' factory in Bristol. They deny the charges.
On Monday, Plastow, from Didsbury, Manchester, was found not guilty of violent disorder. The trial continues.
