Pro-Palestine activists guilty of harassing Pontypridd MP
- Two pro-Palestinian activists, Ayeshah Behit and Hiba Ahmed, were convicted of harassment against Labour MP Alex Davies-Jones at Cardiff Magistrates' Court.
- The harassment followed a confrontation on June 26, 2024, when the activists accused Davies-Jones of supporting genocide related to the Israel-Hamas conflict while she campaigned in Treforest.
- The activists distributed leaflets and posters at Davies-Jones’ campaign base describing her as a 'full-blown supporter of this genocide' and asked aggressive questions, causing her alarm and distress.
- Senior District Judge Paul Goldspring sentenced the defendants to a conditional discharge and fine, stating the case exceeded freedom of speech boundaries and was designed to cause oppressiveness.
- The conviction implies limits on political protest where conduct intimidates or harasses, and both activists plan to appeal against the verdict.
