The Fairford Five was a group of five British protesters who broke into the RAF Fairford military air base in 2003 and disabled equipment in order to disrupt military operations at the start of the Iraq War
They were acquitted of charges after the jury accepted that their actions were reasonable in the context of trying to prevent war crimes – Israel has been accused in The Hague of War Crimes
They were successfully defended in this trial by an up-and-coming lawyer called Keir Starmer
