Two women accused of sticking images of paragliders on their backs at a pro-Palestinian march were actually displaying a “cartoon parachute” used as a “symbol of peace”, lawyers have claimed.
Heba Alhayek, 29, and Pauline Ankunda, 26, allegedly wore the pictures of paragliders at a march in central London seven days after militants from Hamas used paragliders to enter Israel from Gaza on October 7.
A third woman, Noimutu Olayinka Taiwo, 27, is accused of displaying the paraglider picture on a placard at the protest.
