Woman, 22, charged after Brighton protest speech

A woman who was arrested on suspicion of supporting Hamas after a protest in Brighton has been charged.

Hanin Barghouti, 22, of Eaton Grove, Hove, has been charged with supporting a proscribed organisation contrary to Section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

Hamas is proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the UK government.

Sussex Police said the charge followed a speech made on 8 October after the attacks by Hamas against Israel.

Ms Barghouti has been released on bail to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 17 November, the force said.
