Five anti-war protesters arrested during a protest at the Londonderry offices of the US defence firm Raytheon have been charged.

The men, aged between 18 and 66, face a variety of charges including criminal damage, burglary, assaulting police and impersonating a police officer.

It objected to the ongoing Israeli offensive in Gaza.
