Overview
- Ayeshah Behit, 32, and Hiba Ahmed, 26, won their appeals at Cardiff Crown Court, with Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke allowing both on Wednesday.
- The judge said less intrusive options such as a police warning or civil action should have been tried before bringing criminal charges.
- She found the pair’s conduct was a planned campaign aimed at harming Labour MP Alex Davies-Jones’s electoral prospects.
- The confrontation occurred in Treforest during the general election campaign, involving leaflets, posters and stickers accusing the MP of supporting genocide.
- The June magistrates’ convictions and conditional discharges were overturned, as the MP says an edited video of the incident still fuels online abuse.
