They're on Trial for Us, We're on the Loose for Them!

The jury in the trial of Oxford anti-war activists Phil & Toby has now been out for over 8 hours in deliberation on a verdict. The trial arises from the arrest of Toby and Phil in March '03 as they went equipped to disarm a U.S.B 52 Bomber at RAF Fairford (England). An earlier trial in Bristol of Paul and Margaret who had disabled 10 vehicles specifically designed to reload the B52's at Fairford ended in a hung jury a few weeks ago.

For background on the B52 weapon system, the role of RAF Fairford, the attempted disarmament action, the judicial journey of Phil and Toby's request to secure a fair trial......check the following site......
