Defence lawyers in the Ulm 5 trial in Germany have demanded that the judge recuse himself after a German court rejected their applications to hear expert witnesses, including an Israeli arms expert who was barred. The activists are accused of damaging an Elbit Systems site that develops technology used in Gaza. The trial is ongoing, and the dispute over witnesses has become a central point of contention for the defence. Middle East Eye reported the developments on 5 November.
