FAIRFORD DISARMER MARGARET JONES TO BE SENTENCED TOMORROW
10am, Thursday 2 August, Bristol Crown Court, Bristol Crown Court, The Law
Courts, Small Street, BS1 1DA.

Margaret Jones - who, with Paul Milling, non-violently disabled three tankers
used for refuelling the B52 bombers at RAF Fairford in the run-up to the 2003
invasion of Iraq - will be sentenced at Bristol Crown Court tomorrow morning,
Thursday 2 August. Margaret and Paul were found guilty of causing an estimated
$20,000 in criminal damage at their trial last month.

Please be there to support her if you can!

After the invasion it was revealed that Donald Rumsfeld had approved 50 air
strikes that air war commanders 'thought likely to result in [the] deaths of
more than 30 civilians' (NYT, 20 Jul 03). The air wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
are currently being escalated: see http://tinyurl.com/ynjs3s.
