THE 'Stansted 15' - a group of activists who blocked a deportation charter flight - will appeal their conviction.
Oxford's May MacKeith and Oxford Brookes graduate Jyotsna Ram are among those convicted of terror offences last month, in a case that provoked widespread criticism from various groups, including Amnesty International.
Today an appeal was lodged against the conviction, which could mean that the group could face a life sentence in prison.
Last month around 70 people in Oxford demonstrated in solidarity with the group.
