Joe and Clare Glenton refuse to kill the people of Afghanistan
– Now this British soldier faces two years in jail for desertion.

First British soldier to speak out

Lance Corporal Joe Glenton, 27, joined the Army in 2004 and was sent to Kandahar, Afghanistan, in 2006. Whereas the army and politicians claimed that British troops were there to help, he was shocked to find that the Afghan people were against them. Ashamed and disillusioned, he went AWOL in 2007. He handed himself in two years later. Charged with desertion, he faces up to two years in prison if convicted at his court martial. The army tried to gag him from speaking in public, but failed. He has continued to be vocal and has spoken about discontentment in the ranks. News of his stand is spreading internationally, including in the European press.
