British authorities announced that they will request a retrial of six activists from the Palestine Action Campaign after the jury failed to reach final verdicts on some charges during the trial of the storming of a factory belonging to the Israeli company Albit System in Bristol on August 6, 2024.

Activists Samuel Corner, Charlotte Head, Leona Cameo, Fatima Rajwani, Zoe Rogers, and Jordan Devlin were recently acquitted of charges of aggravated robbery, while the jury returned no verdicts on charges of damaging public property, violent disorder, and causing serious bodily injury.
The prosecution had confirmed that the retrial would include all unresolved charges, including charges of damaging property against all defendants, violent rioting against three of them, and causing serious physical injuries against Corner. The judge set a tentative trial date of February 16, 2027.
After the rulings were issued, all defendants were released on bail except for Corner, who spent about 18 months in pretrial detention.
Meanwhile, aggravated robbery charges have been dropped against 18 other defendants involved in the same factory break-in, but they face ongoing trials on other charges linked to the incident.
