Activists in German court following vandalism at weapons manufacturer
A criminal trial is currently underway in Ulm against five people who advocate for the Palestinian cause. They caused substantial damage at Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit. The defendants are referred to in the media as the "Ulm 5".
The five must now answer before a judge in Stammheim for the incidents at the defence contractor. Their defence relies on ethical motives and speaks of self-defence. They justify their actions with resistance against war crimes.
The prosecution accuses the defendants of vandalising the company. No further details have become known regarding the exact amount of the damage and the type of damage caused.
