Four Pro-Palestinian protesters who caused over £1 million of damages at a weapons factory have appealed their jail sentences.

Stuart Bretherton, 25, Eva Simmons, 25, Calum Lacy, 23, Erica Hygate, 23, scaled the Thales UK building in Glasgow's Govan on June 1 2022.

The four demonstrators remained on the roof, unfurled banners and erected flags as well as ignited pyrotechnics.

The building had its fire alarm activated after Hygate and further co-accused Sumaya Javaid, 22, who entered the building which prompted an evacuation.

A smoke bomb was thrown into the area staff were being evacuated to which caused panic.

Two of the protestors remained at the building overnight and glued themselves to the roof after refusing to engage with police.

A total of £1,130,783 of damage was caused and the premises were shut due to safety concerns.

Bretherton, Simmons, Lacy and Hygate were each jailed for 12 months by Sheriff John McCormick last month.
