Hanin Barghouthi, a 24-year-old from East Sussex, is on trial at Kingston Crown Court, charged under the Terrorism Act with expressing support for Hamas following the October 7 attacks. The prosecution alleges that on October 8, 2023, at a rally in Brighton, Barghouthi described the terror group's actions as "a victory" and "inspiring," reacting with "joy" and "support." During her speech, she reportedly told the crowd they needed to "celebrate these acts of resistance because this is a success" and encouraged the audience to share her views, which were met with applause and cheers. Barghouthi, who has denied the charge, was arrested on October 12, 2023, and the defense may argue she did not realize Hamas was responsible for the attacks.
