Katharine Gun is the brave GCHQ officer who took a stand on principle in January/February and blew the whistle on the US/UK plans to spy on the non-permanent members of the Security Council. She is now being prosecuted under the Official Secrets Act.

The Antiwar community should lend its support to her. There are many more people who are part of the Intelligence machine who have contemplated taking the risk of standing on matters of principle. There are many who do not want simply to follow orders from a corrupt leadership. We need to give them all of our help and comfort and encouragement. Someone who is better at organizing than I am might want to think of how this might be done. I would be willing to contribute at least day's wage towards her legal defence costs
