source wikipedia : Brian Haw
Brian Haw (7 January 1949 - 18 June 2011) a British carpenter (Protestant Christian) protested continuously at London's Parliament Square, starting on 2nd June 2001 peace campaigning (to save lives prior to September 11th), for nearly ten years to 2010. This evidence clearly shows the public has awareness of atrocious policies committed before 9/11, such as the extreme sanctions against Iraq killing half a million children according to UNICEF in 1999. Geneva International Centre for Justice (GICJ) was appalled at UNICEF conclusion, which can only be seen as part of the tenacious attempts to cover the appalling crimes committed against the Iraqi civilian population under the sanctions regime. The consequences of the sanctions and subsequent acts of aggression against innocent people of Iraq continue to reverberate in the ravaged country with brute force. At the 2007 Channel 4 Political Awards "Brian Haw was voted Most Inspiring Political Figure". Haw only left his Parliment campsite to attend court hearings, surviving on food brought by family and supporters. Haw originally camped on the grass in Parliament Square, but under Blair's leadership the Greater London Authority took legal action to move Brian Haw, to the cold pavement edge of surrounding busy traffic of cars, lorries and buses circling the ringroad. In the early hours of 23rd May 2006, 78 police removed all but one of Haw's placards citing breached conditions of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005. Barbara Tucker joined Brian Haw in December 2005 till May 2013 (7 years and 5 months of protesting). Both had been assulted many times by members of the public which police would not use CCTV footage for them. Tucker has been arrested 47 times-usually on charges of "unauthorised demonstration". In 2008 Tucker served two weeks in prison for breach of police bail and in 2011 she served a nine-week prison sentence in Holloway Prison. Barbara Tucker was denied a tent, blankets, or sleeping bag since January 2012, instead sleeping in a chair until that, too, was taken away.
