Six Palestine Action activists face a retrial days after they were cleared of aggravated burglary at a raid on defence firm near Bristol.
A female police officer was left with a “shattered spine” following the break-in at the Filton site in August 2024.
The raid at an Ebit Systems building caused more than £1 million worth of damage and left Sergeant Kate Evans injured after she was struck with a sledgehammer.
Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, Fatema Rajwani, Zoe Rogers and Jordan Devlin were found not guilty of aggravated burglary by a jury at Woolwich Crown Court last week.
Jurors also found Rajwani, Rogers and Devlin not guilty of violent disorder.
They failed to reach verdicts on several other counts.
No decision was reached over a charge of grievous bodily harm against Corner, nor on charges of violent disorder against Head, Kamio and Corner.
A Crown Prosecution Service statement on Saturday confirming its plans for a retrial did not state which of the charges against the so-called ‘Filton Six’ it planned to re-indict.
A CPS spokesperson said: “Prosecutors are now considering the precise basis on which that retrial would proceed, including the form of the indictment, in accordance with CPS legal guidance."
