Landmark case won

by The Friend Newsdesk 15th February 2013

Anti-war campaigners have just won a landmark case at the Central London County Court after ten years.  In March 2003 approximately 159 protestors, including some Quakers, set out from Euston for the Fairford military aerodrome to protest against the war in Iraq. They were stopped by the police three miles from the venue and sent back to London under a police escort.
