Campaigner wrongly accused of bombing campaign in notorious explosives trial dies aged 62

A miscarriages of justice campaigner who was wrongly accused of involvement in a Welsh nationalist bombing campaign has died at the age of 62.

Adrian Stone, who in later years went on to become a community councillor in Caerphilly, was one of the defendants in an infamous trial in the 1980s when he was just 21 years old.

Together with eight other men - one of whom, Robert Griffiths, went on to lead the Communist Party of Britain and another, Nic Hodges, to be Mayor of Barry - Mr Stone was charged with being in possession of explosives and conspiring to cause 13 separate bombing incidents in Cardiff, Birmingham, Stratford, Pontypridd and London.
