A man who has held a four-year anti-war protest outside Parliament, has won a legal battle to continue his vigil.
From 1 August all protests in a half-mile zone in Westminster, London, must have prior permission from police.
But the High Court has ruled Brian Haw, from Worcestershire, who claimed he was exempt as his protest pre-dated the new laws, can continue his protest.
