Catholic peace campaigner Sarah Hipperson has died

Paul Donovan writes:

Indefatigable peace campaigner, Sarah Hipperson, has died at the age of 90.

So ends a remarkable life dedicated to peace and justice.

Sarah lived in the east London suburb of Wanstead for many decades but it was her decision in 1983 to up sticks and move to join the peace protest at Greenham Common that brought her to national prominence.

There she joined the women's camp, getting directly involved in peaceful direct action, like cutting fences and obstructing vehicles, to stop the siting of cruise missiles in the area.
