Joss Garman, Sarah Shoraka, Graham Thompson, Phillip Gordon and Briony Tomlins were charged with ’criminal damage’ and ’going equipped to commit criminal damage’ and will appear at Watford Magistrates Court on Thursday 29th. They are currently on bail not to go within 200m of Northwood.

A spokesperson for the group, explained, "The irony of the situation is that Iraq is probably the only country not in breach of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). We acted to expose the hypocricy of Blair’s policies in which he attacks a country becauuse they might possess WMD, and yet he himself deploys Trident in contravention of International law."

He continued, "In terms of security, the real threat is the global proliferation of nuclear weapons."

Update: Today, 29th April, the case of the Northwood 5 was adjourned until 12th May, when the activists will again appear in the same court in order to plea."
