Antiwar protester Brian Haw has won the latest round in his determined battle with the authorities, which have waged an ongoing campaign against his six-year Parliament Square demonstration. According to news reports today, the High Court has thrown out an appeal by the Director of Public Prosecutions against an earlier ruling that conditions, imposed by the police under the Serious Organised Crime Act, on his peaceful protest against the Iraq war were unlawful.

The Metropolitan Police squandered £111,000 of public money on a massive raid against a peaceful antiwar protest outside Parliament, it has been revealed. Brian Haw, 57, has staged a peaceful six-year vigil outside the Palace of Westminster, using a megaphone to signal his opposition to the war in Iraq. But following a legal crackdown, police moved in to remove most of his 40m of banners and placards, part of ongoing establishment attempts to stop his demonstration.
