Five pro-Palestinian activists plead not guilty over UK military base break-in

Activists deny charges after spraying red paint on RAF Voyager aircraft in protest against UK support for Israel; damage costs could reach nearly £15 million, court heard.

  • On Friday, Muhammad Umer Khalid, Lewis Chiaramello, Amu Gib, Jon Cink and Daniel Jeronymides‑Norie pleaded not guilty at London's Old Bailey to damaging property and entering a prohibited place at RAF Brize Norton in June.
  • Palestine Action, campaign group , said it was behind the incident, which was a protest against UK government support for Israel before parliament voted to proscribe the group on July 2, 2025.
  • Via videolink from prison, the five appeared at the Old Bailey for a plea and trial preparation hearing; no bail applications were made and Mrs Justice Cheema‑Grubb remanded all five into custody.
