Waddington 4

News in Brief

On 19 October, four British drone protesters, Chris Cole, Katha Karcher, Eagle Spits and Penny Walker will go on trial at Lincoln magistrates court (358 High St LN5 7QA) accused of criminal damage to the perimeter fence of RAF Waddington.

The four entered RAF Waddington on 5 January, the first working day of the year, with the intention of disrupting British drone operations in Iraq and Syria.

Instead of half a day, the trial has been given at least a day in court, so that more time is available for expert witnesses. The trial may go on until the following day.

The four are calling for court support – which starts with a music/poetry ‘Shindig’ on 18 October at the Tap & Spile pub (21 Hungate, LN1 1ES).
