Eighteen people have appeared in court in connection with protests in Cardiff in June against the war in Gaza.
The 10 women and eight men are charged with offenses including assaulting an emergency worker, locking a person in order to cause serious disruption to South Wales Police, sending obstructing an officer, obstructing the highway, and public order.
The 18, who gave speeches across South Wales, Cornwall and Hertfordshire, all deny the charges and have all been granted unconditional bail.
They will appear at Cardiff Magistrates' Court again in the New Year.
Sixteen people have been arrested following a protest near the front desk at Cardiff Bay police station on June 4thaccording to South Wales Police.
Police said the arrests in June came hours after a man was arrested at an earlier demonstration, which drew between 50 and 60 people in central Cardiff.
The war began when gunmen led by Hamas carried out an unprecedented attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, during which approximately 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were kidnapped.
The Hamas-run health ministry claims that the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza during the 14-month war Israel and Hamas have exceeded 45,000.
