(BBC) Two women have been convicted of harassing a government minister.
Cardiff Magistrates’ Court heard that justice minister and Pontypridd MP Alex Davies-Jones was “terrified” after being confronted by two pro-Palestine activists while campaigning.
Senior District Judge Paul Goldspring found Ayeshah Behit, 31, and Hiba Ahmed, 26, from Treforest, Rhondda [Cynon] Taf, guilty of harassment following a trial.
He gave them a conditional discharge and fine.
Davies-Jones said she felt “scared and intimidated” after being approached by Behit, 31, and Ahmed, 26.
The court heard Behit and Ahmed had leaflets describing the MP as a “full-blown supporter of this genocide” in Gaza.
