‘This man should be arrested for war crimes’

An investigation was ordered after a protester burst into the Leveson Inquiry as Tony Blair was giving evidence and yelled “this man should be arrested for war crimes”.

The protester, who told reporters his name was David Lawley Wakelin, managed to evade security and get through number-coded doors to access the judges’ corridor leading to courtroom 73.

The 49-year-old, who said he was from the Alternative Iraq Enquiry, brought proceedings to a halt by hurling accusations at the former prime minister.
