'''Brian William Haw''' (7 January 1949&nbsp;– 18 June 2011) was a British protester and peace campaigner who lived for almost ten years from 2001 in a [[peace camp]] in London's [[Parliament Square]], in a [[protest]] against UK and US foreign policy. He began the [[Parliament Square Peace Campaign]] before the [[September 11 attacks]], and became a symbol of the [[anti-war movement]] over the policies of both the United Kingdom and the United States in [[Afghanistan]] and later [[Iraq]]. At the 2007 [[Channel 4]] Political Awards he was voted Most Inspiring Political Figure. Haw died of cancer in [[Berlin]], where he had been receiving medical treatment.
