Three more convicted women given suspended sentences because vagina. An extract:

Giving his verdict, Deputy Senior District Judge Tan Ikram said: ‘Seven days before the protest, Hamas went into Israel with what was described by the media as paragliders. A reasonable person would have seen and read that.

‘I do not find a reasonable person would interpret the image merely as a symbol of freedom. I want to be clear, there’s no evidence that any of these defendants are supporters of Hamas, or were seeking to show support for them.’

Handing the trio a 12-month conditional discharge, Mr Ikram said he had ‘decided not to punish’ the defendants.

‘Each of you stands convicted of a terrorist offence,’ he continued. ‘There is nothing to suggest the police of their own volition were going to take any action.

‘You’ve not hidden the fact you were carrying these images. You crossed the line, but it would have been fair to say that emotions ran very high on this issue.

‘Your lesson has been well learnt. I do not find you were seeking to show any support for Hamas.’
