"The prosecution is pursuing charges of property damage and considers the activists members of a criminal organisation, arguing for lengthy prison sentences based on anti-Semitic motivations."
"The lawyers for the activists contend the alleged incident was an act of civil disobedience aimed at stopping actions that violate international law, emphasizing that no one was injured."
The trial of five European nationals, known as the Ulm Five, begins in Germany for allegedly attacking an Elbit Systems factory. On September 8, 2025, they reportedly entered the facility in Ulm, destroying office equipment while filming. Elbit Systems is Israel's largest defense contractor, significantly involved in the Gaza conflict. The prosecution is pursuing charges of property damage and claims the activists are part of a criminal organization, citing anti-Semitic motivations. The defense argues the act was civil disobedience against violations of international law, emphasizing no injuries or prior criminal records among the defendants.
