Supporters have rallied outside a London court to celebrate the acquittal of a number of activists who had been jailed for over a year and a half without charge for causing damage to an Israeli-owned weapons factory based in the UK.

The activists belonged to the now-"proscribed" Palestine Action group and were found either not guilty or the jury failed to reach a verdict on the charges brought against them.
