3 "Palestine Action" thugs found guilty



Three women have been found guilty of criminal damage after staging an eight-
hour pro-Palestine protest at a Newcastle factory. Wearing red boiler suits, two
of the women climbed onto the roof of Pearson Engineering, on Scotswood
Road, while red paint was sprayed and spilt, rubble was dumped, razor wire
was cut and slingshots were used to fire stones to cause damage to signs.

Hollie Mildenhall, 25, of Spencer Street, Heaton, Newcastle, Summer Oxlade,
29, of Railway Terrace, Houghton-le-Spring, and Georgia Coote, 28, of
Cosgrove Court, Benton, North Tyneside, did not deny carrying out the acts of
damage but claimed their actions were lawful given the links they alleged
exist between the company

The company had told the court it "did not export" to Israel and had no
licences to do so, the judge said.
He also said they said they made "defensive military equipment", such as
mine detection vehicles, which was supplied to the UK and other allies but
"not Israel".
