Gaza seven have sentence slashed

A further three failed to have their jail terms reduced.

More than 100 people were arrested last year after protests outside the Israeli embassy in London during which bottles and stones were thrown and a coffee shop was attacked.

Before proceedings, a picket was held outside the court building called by the Stop the War Coalition, CND, Palestine Solidarity Campaign, British Muslim Initiative and Palestine Forum of Britain.

Asim Alhaddad, 24, of Annesley Avenue, Colindale, north west London, had his two-year sentence reduced to 21 months.

Qassir Tamuri, 19, of High Street, Stratford, east London, had a 30-month term cut to 12 months.

Mustafa Hassan, 19, of the White City Estate, Hammersmith, west London, had his term cut from 18 months to 10 months.

Mohammed El-Araj, 20, of Blenheim Crescent, Kensington, west London, had his two-year term of imprisonment quashed and replaced with 18 months.

Sid-Ali Zenaf, 20, of Stocksfield Road, Waltham Forest, east London, won a cut from two years to 18 months.

In relation to Mosab Al-Ani, 22, of Carlton, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, the judges said there had been a "huge delay" in his case and the court was able to take an "exceptional course."

The court quashed Mr Al-Ani's 12-month sentence and replaced it with a community order of 12 months.

Mahamoud Farhan Ali, 19, of Hunt Close, Hammersmith, won a reduction from 18 months to 10 months.

Andris Feodorovs, 30, of Goulton Road, Hackney, east London, failed in his appeal bid, as did Abdul Samad, 23, of Hammersmith's White City Estate.

There was no change in the two-year term imposed on Sayed Rizvi, 19, Hebdon Road, Wandsworth, south-west London.
