Mary Simpson went to Israel on a peace mission but was locked up, interrogated and ordered out of the country.
Avril Newey has been so incensed by the Israeli bombings of Lebanon that she began a one-woman protest at the back of Cathedral Lanes, between Holy Trinity Church and the cathedral ruins. The mother of one, of Belvedere Road, Earlsdon, said:She was among a delegation taking children's books and messages of goodwill to groups of women in Bethlehem and the Palestinian town of Ramallah.
"I was watching the telly and was so moved by a Lebanese woman who talked about the destruction of her land that I decided to do something. I'm ashamed of how little our government is doing to stop the conflict. I believe what Israel is doing is wrong and I think much more should be done to try to create peace. I was ready for some criticism but everyone who has spoken to me has been supportive of my stance."
