Free Palestine protesters gathered outside Blackburn magistrates where a woman was appearing in connection with demonstrations outside BAE at Samlesbury.

Rabiya Ahmed, 27, of Campbell Place, Blackburn, was charged with being a public assembly participant who failed to comply with a Section 14 Public Order Notice issued by a senior police officer.

She pleaded not guilty and was remanded on bail until her trial at Burnley magistrates on June 19.

A condition of bail is that she does not enter the entrance to BAE Systems, Samlesbury.
