"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Six Palestine Action activists have been cleared of committing aggravated burglary over a break-in at an Israel-based defence firm's UK site. Charlotte Head, 29, Samuel Corner, 23, Leona Kamio, 30, Fatema Zainab Rajwani, 21, Zoe Rogers, 22, and Jordan Devlin, 31, faced trial at Woolwich Crown Court over allegations they used or threatened unlawful violence and used sledgehammers as weapons after a prison van was driven into Elbit Systems' Bristol factory."
"Prosecutors said the six defendants, whose trial began in November, were members of the now-banned group Palestine Action. All six were acquitted of aggravated burglary and jurors found Ms Rajwani, Ms Rogers and Mr Devlin not guilty of violent disorder. The jury deliberated for 36 hours and 34 minutes, but could not reach a verdict for charges of criminal damage against all six defendants."
The Independent funds on-the-ground reporting across topics such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and solicits donations to keep journalism free of paywalls. The outlet emphasizes parsing facts from messaging and sending journalists to speak to both sides of stories. Six Palestine Action activists — Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, Fatema Zainab Rajwani, Zoe Rogers, and Jordan Devlin — were cleared of aggravated burglary after a break-in at the UK site of Israel-based defence firm Elbit Systems. Jurors acquitted three defendants of violent disorder and deliberated 36 hours 34 minutes, but could not reach verdicts on criminal damage and other charges.
