Pro-Palestinian Protesters Charged After Damaging RAF Planes
Four people protesting for Palestine were put in jail after they were in court.
They are accused of using red paint and crowbars to damage two airplanes that help refuel other planes.
The group Palestine Action says they did it and even showed a video.
The government says these acts may be terrorism because of the targets involved.
Four pro-Palestinian protesters were remanded in custody after court appearance.
They are charged with conspiracy to commit criminal damage and entering a prohibited place.
The charges relate to damage of two RAF Voyager jets with red paint and crowbars.
Palestine Action claimed responsibility, releasing video footage of the incident.
The Crown Prosecution Service will argue the offenses have a “terrorist connection”.
