(Sky News) Three people accused of displaying images of paragliders at a pro-Palestinian march have escaped jail after being found guilty of showing support for a terrorist group.
Heba Alhayek, 29, and Pauline Ankunda, 26, and Noimutu Olayinka Taiwo, 27, were handed 12-month conditional discharges at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, after Deputy Senior District Judge Tan Ikram said he had “decided not to punish” them.
The trio stood trial following widespread condemnation when their images were spread on social media after the demonstration in October.
It came a week after Hamas militants used paragliders to enter Israel in attacks that killed more than 1,000 Israelis.
