The trio were found by the Metropolitan Police after a social media appeal and were charged under the Terrorism Act.
Three people accused of displaying images of paragliders at a pro-Palestinian march have escaped jail after being found guilty of showing support for a terrorist group. Heba Alhayek, 29, and Pauline Ankunda, 26, and Noimutu Olayinka Taiwo, 27, were handed 12-month conditional discharges at Westminster Magistrates' Court, after Deputy Senior District Judge Tan Ikram said he had 'decided not to punish' them.
All three were charged under the Terrorism Act with carrying or displaying an article to arouse reasonable suspicion that they are supporters of banned organisation Hamas. Prosecutor Brett Weaver told the court: 'The displaying of these images could be viewed as celebrating the use of the paragliders tactic.' But Mark Summers KC, representing Alhayek and Ankunda, said police had 'mistaken' what they saw and were fed a narrative by partisan social media groups.
