However, uncertainty remained over whether their trials under terror laws would still go ahead after the government revealed it plans to appeal against the judgment.

Since July, police have arrested at least 2,787 people across the UK for holding signs displaying statements such as "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action", according to the civil liberties organisation Defend Our Juries.
