To be clear, they broke into a factory and attacked someone with a hammer that they took with them for that purpose.
Then they publicly stated that they would do it again as soon as they got the chance. It’s that later statement which is why they had to be kept behind bars.
They had the option to apologise, say things got out of control and agree to bail conditions but they refused to do that so they are in prison by their own choice.
It would be negligent of the justice system to do nothing and release them to find another victim. They have since been tried and found guilty.
they broke into a factory and attacked someone with a hammer
Just to be clear, the protestors were not using a hammer, but the person they attacked was attempting to brutalise them with a hammer, so its actually better to describe the situation as:
Protestors defend themselves when a police officer attacked them with a hammer.
I love your evidence is from before the trial, when the video showed in court finally showed it was the other way around and the police officer lied as the police always do.
A police officers statement is not a fact, and historically has always been a distortion to maximise victimisation of their institution and ensure they can inflict violence on the vulnerable.
Taking the narrative of a police officer positions you are very naive.
Then perhaps base your opinion on what was said by the protestors themselves who stated in court that they were not in fact attacked with a hammer as you say.
Isn’t the more likely explanation that a violent thug gave a weak excuse for battering a woman and that excuse didn’t hold up to the slightest scrutiny?

Your wording is very weaselly.

Really? Here’s something from after the trial where Corner was found guilty of GBH (his 32nd conviction)BBC News - Palestine Action activists guilty of Elbit Systems site raid - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2p99rxr5po?app-referrer=search
They put forward that defence in trial but the video obviously doesn’t back up their turn of events, because the victim wasn’t holding a hammer.
I suppose you will believe whatever suits your narrative but I prefer to base my opinion on actual facts.
