A woman who carried a placard showing Hamas paragliders at a pro-Palestine march said she thought that it was a 'symbol of liberation and peace', a court heard today.

Noimutu Olayinka Taiwo, 27, along with Heba Alhayek, 29, and Pauline Ankunda, 26, were charged under the Terrorism Act following the protest in central London on October 14.

The incident happened a week after Hamas terrorists used paragliders to cross the border between Gaza and Israel, killing and torturing 1,400 Israeli men, women and children in a horrifying massacre.
