Yvette Cooper wrote Palestine Action article despite CPS warning it could affect trial
Yvette Cooper, then-home secretary, wrote a newspaper column justifying Palestine Action's proscription despite a warning from the Crown Prosecution Service that it could prejudice a trial. The trial involves six activists accused of breaking into an Israeli arms manufacturer's factory in 2024. Cooper's column may have unfairly impacted the criminal proceedings.
