A Quaker activist on trial for stopping an immigration removal charter flight has thanked Chelmsford Meeting for all its support.

Lyndsay Burtonshaw, an attender at Brighton Meeting, is one of the ‘Stansted Fifteen’ protestors on trial for terror offences after the group locked themselves together around the Boeing 767, chartered by the Home Office, that was deporting people to Nigeria, Ghana and Sierra Leone on 28 March.
