Principled stand costs protester his freedom
Fintan Lane, chairperson of the Cork Anti-War Campaign and PRO of the Irish Anti-War Movement, recently began a 60-day prison sentence because of his conscientious refusal to pay a 750 fine imposed in April at Tulla District Court.
He was merely one of more than a 100 people who participated in a mass trespass at Shannon airport in October 2002, and one of ten arrested and subsequently fined. His principled stand has now cost him his liberty.
