Convictions overturned for activists
South Wales Echo
|November 20, 2025
TWO pro-Palestinian activists found guilty of harassing a Government minister have had their convictions overturned.
Ayeshah Behit, 32, and Hiba Ahmed, 26, were found guilty of the charge against Alex Davies-Jones, the Labour MP for Pontypridd, at Cardiff Magistrates' Court in June.
The pair challenged the ruling, denying they harassed Ms Davies-Jones and arguing they were exercising their right to free speech, at Cardiff Crown Court this week.
Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke, the Recorder of Cardiff, said the prosecutions were not necessary and allowed both appeals during a hearing yesterday.
