(BBC) Two pro-Palestinian activists found guilty of harassing a UK government minister have appeared in court to appeal against their convictions.
Ayeshah Behit, 31, and [Hiba] Ahmed, 26, were found guilty of the charge against Alex Davies-Jones, the Labour MP for Pontypridd, in June.
They had filmed a confrontation with the politician, who had been campaigning in Treforest, Rhondda Cynon Taf, in the lead-up to the general election in June last year.
Both women appeared at an appeal hearing at Merthyr Crown Court on Friday, denying they harassed Davies-Jones, a justice minister.
Ahmed, a final-year architecture student at Cardiff University with no previous convictions, was handed a 12-month conditional discharge in June.
