Palestine Action defendant wounded by taser and sledgehammer in raid, court hears

A Palestine Action defendant was left with multiple wounds and bruises caused by blows from a sledgehammer and a police officer’s taser, an English court heard on Thursday. A medical report recorded that Leona Kamio, a 30-year-old nursery school teacher, had taser wounds to her right arm and right hip, a bruise to the chin, a small scratch and another wound caused by a sledgehammer to the right hand after being arrested at an Israeli-owned arms factory.
