Hannah Bright, 22, Alex Dekoning, 25, Emma Brown, 32, Carmen Lean, 29, and Jennifer Kowalski, 28, all face allegations at Glasgow Sheriff Court. The five face a charge of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner at the city's Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Court papers state they used a megaphone and shouted while delivering a speech. A separate allegation says that, while acting together, they maliciously attached themselves to the frame of a painting. The charge claims this was done by using an adhesive. Allegations go on to say they spray-painted the walls and floor at the gallery which caused damage to it. Kowalski, of the city's Govanhill, faces a separate charge on her own of breaching a court undertaking order not to attend, organize or participate in any protest in Scotland. Kowalski, and Dekoning, of Newcastle, Brown of Cessnock, and Lean and Bright both of Glasgow city center deny the charges against them. A further hearing has been set for next month.
