Fairford Accused on 19th September

Fairford Peacewatch | 07.09.2003 18:07 | Anti-militarism | Oxford

Gloucester Crown Court, Friday 19th September 2003
at 10.00am



Those accused of crimes at USAF Fairford during the attack on Iraq will be
attending court to hear what the next stage of their cases is to be.

The situation in Iraq is dire. Coalition Forces, Iraqis and other resistance
fighters are dying daily. The U.S is now asking other countries to help try
to repair the damage that has been done by Bush and Blair's attack and more
and more people are now begining to question the legality, ethics and
motives for this so called war.

Michael Meacher MP has recently voiced an opinion and concerns which echo
those of protesters. His article in the Guardian on Saturday 5th September
can be found here:-

What a pity Mr.Meacher didn't speak up before thousands were murdered by
Bush and Blair.

The trials of the Fairford defendants is an opportunity to let Blair's
govenment know that we are ' still here', not going away and not going to
let him get away with it.

Come along and support on the day. Bring banners, flags and leaflets or just
yourselves and demonstrate against the Blair regime inside and/or outside
the court

Interesting discussion of case in Tuesday's Guardian

18.09.2003 09:48

"Now, two peace activists, Margaret Jones and Paul Milling, will make a fresh attempt to question the legality of the conflict before a court....Jones and Milling will argue that their actions were justified given the "illegality" of the Iraq war. On Friday, Judge Jamie Tabor will decide at a preliminary hearing the procedure for putting the defence forward. Will the judge hear the argument and decide himself, or will the question of the war's legality or illegality be left to the jury?"
