“A catholic priest has been sentenced to 28 days in prison for refusing to pay fines imposed on him over his peace protests.
Fr Martin Newell, a Passionist, works with the homeless at the London Catholic Worker. He said he would not pay fines of £565 ‘for reasons of faith and conscience’.
The protests were over the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the use of drones and the Trident nuclear system.”
