Fairford Defendants on Trial Monday 23rd February

Four activists are on trial in Cirencester Magistrates Court on Monday for criminal damage and aggravated trespass. The alleged offences took place at Fairford on the 9th March 2003, days before the start of the bombing raids on Iraq, when the USAF were busy loading bombs onto their B-52's.
The activists are using as their defence the fact that the war was unlawful, and therefore the activities taking place at USAF base Fairford were also unlawful. It surely cannot be a crime to disrupt an UNlawful activity.
The trial starts 10am Monday and is expected to last for four to five days. If anyone is in the area, and has nothing better to do for a day or two, support would be much appreciated!
