A Quaker is facing imprisonment in Scotland for her protest against what she regards as an unfair trial.  Janet Fenton was found guilty of criminal damage on Friday along with fellow peace activist Barbara Dowling. They had sprayed slogans on the walls of a court building in Dumbarton in 2010 after being convicted of a breach of the peace at the Faslane naval base. The base is home to the Trident nuclear weapons system.
