A judge at the Central Criminal Court has rejected a bail application for a pro-Palestine activist allegedly involved in breaking into Britain’s largest military airbase.
Earlier this year, members of the group Palestine Action filmed themselves entering RAF Brize Norton on electric scooters, where they spray-painted two Voyager aircraft with red paint.
At the time, the Ministry of Defence said the activists had caused £7m ($9.47m) worth of damage and arrested five individuals, aged 22 to 35, in connection with the incident.”
However, earlier this month, Counter Terror Policing South East arrested a sixth suspect, Muhammad Umer Khalid, and charged him with conspiracy to commit criminal damage and conspiracy to enter a prohibited place.
The 22-year-old has been in custody since and remains in Wormwood Scrubs Prison, where he is awaiting trial.
