Welsh language activists refuse to pay fines for spraying slogans on government buildings
Aberystwyth magistrates hand pair £90 penalty each for daubing 'Welsh education for all' on local offices

Two Welsh language activists were slapped with fines yesterday for spraying slogans onto Welsh government buildings — but both have refused to pay. 

Robin Farrar and Bethan Williams said they would not hand over the £90 compensation they were ordered to pay by Aberystwyth magistrates. 

The pair are the former and current leaders of the militant Welsh Language Society.
