THE trial of the two anti-abortion campaigners arrested for showing a picture of an aborted foetus in Newport is set to begin on September 3.
Joseph Biddulph, aged 52, of Ebenezer Street, Pontypridd, and Fiona Pinto, (pictured) aged 23, of Potters Bar, London, appeared at Newport magistrates court yesterday for a pre-trial hearing.
The pair have both pleaded not guilty to causing harassment by using insulting words or behaviour on April 24.
Yesterday they also pleaded not guilty to an alternative charge of disorderly behaviour on the same date.
Their trial is expected to last two days and will be heard by Abergavenny magistrates. They were released on unconditional bail.
