(BBC) Three people at a pro-Palestine march in central London displayed images of paragliders, “celebrating” the Hamas tactic, a court has been told.
Heba Alhayek, 29, and Pauline Ankunda, 26, attached images to their backs, prosecutors allege, just seven days after Hamas militants used paragliders to enter Israel on 7 October.
Noimutu Olayinka Taiwo, 27, stuck one to a placard’s handle, it is alleged.
At Westminster Magistrates’ Court, they deny charges under the Terrorism Act.
They are charged with carrying or displaying an article to arouse reasonable suspicion that they are supporters of banned organisation Hamas.
