Description
Amanda Kelly, 32 of Ashton Under Lyne has been sentenced to 20 months for criminal damage.
Kelly, a member of a Palestine extremist group in Tameside, targeted a Barclays bank in Burnley in 2024, smashing windows, covering the building in red paint, and causing damage exceeding the value of £200,000.
Kelly and her group targeted the bank due to it's relationship with Israel - so this was an anti-semitic and racially motivated attack.
Today in Preston Crown Court, Amanda Kelly and 3 others were sentenced to 20 months, suspended for 20 months.
A terrorist attack is the use, or threatened use, of intentional violence or destruction to intimidate the public, influence a government, or advance a political, religious, or ideological cause.
