In March 2003, Lindis Percy entered the base in a nonviolent protest against the war, which she believed to be immoral and contrary to international law. When apprehended by US security officers, she was thrown to the ground and restrained using handcuffs and leg shackles while a woman US military police officer conducted a full body search in a degrading way. Lindis was then forced to lie face-down in a truck to be taken into detention while British police were called to make an arrest. She was known to those detaining her, in the words of one, as ‘a peaceful, nonviolent Quaker’ and had not resisted their intervention. Lindis was charged with Aggravated Trespass (Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994), which applies to a person who trespasses with intent to intimidate, obstruct or disrupt a lawful activity.2 She was refused bail, remanded in custody for one week at Holloway Prison and then granted bail with strict conditions.
