Palestine Action activists to go on trial after dismantling Teledyne weapons factory
[Palestine Action]

PALESTINE ACTION activists who occupied a weapons factory to disrupt weapon productions for Israel in Shipley are set to go on trial on Monday.

The four activists were charged with criminal damage after they were seen scaling and taking a sledgehammer to the roof of the US-owned Teledyne Defence and Space factory on April 2.

The factory manufactures components for missiles, electronics, gunsights and munitions for the Israeli military.
