1) Mil sent to prison

Milan Rai was imprisoned for 28 days last Wednesday at Hastings Magistrates Court after refusing to
pay a fine of Ł2135 for defacing the British Foreign. 

Mil Sprayed the British Foreign Office with fake blood and stencilled
‘Blackwatch out’ and ‘Don’t attack Fallujah’ before the US/UK onslought
of the Iraqi city of November last year.

He said: I've refused to pay this sum, because I think that marking the
Foreign Office with anti-war messages was a legally and morally
justifiable response to the threatened assault on Fallujah.'

Mil explained to the magistrate that the issue of guilt had been
settled, he said: ‘I have pleaded guilty to doing too little too late to
help the people of Fallujah, but I don’t believe I am the only guilty
person in the room.’

He added: ‘I am unwilling to pay for the clean up of the Foreign Office
as that would be admitting I was wrong.’

During the invasion of Fallujah more than 700 bodies had been recovered
from the rubble in 9 out of the city's 27 neighbourhoods.  550 were
women and children. <tinyurl.com/8vrdv>
