‘We just disappeared’: Palestine Action defendant recalls ‘horrifying’ arrest A defendant facing charges in connection with a Palestine Action raid on an Israeli arms factory said that she and her co-defendants “still have PTSD”, following their arrests by counter-terrorism police. Hannah Davidson, 53, along with her co-defendants Ian Sanders, 47; Aleksandra Herbich, 41; Teuta Hoxha, 30; Sean Middlebrough, 33; Julia Brigadirova, 33; and Madeleine Norman, 31, face charges of violent disorder and criminal damage in connection with a break-in to an Elbit Systems plant in Filton, near Bristol, in August 2024. On Monday, William Plastow, 35, was acquitted of violent disorder by the presiding judge, Patrick Field, who concluded that the prosecution had not produced enough evidence against him.
