Dr Sarah Benn, who was arrested and imprisoned for holding a placard outside an oil refinery, was found guilty of professional misconduct by the GMC. She will find out whether she is to be struck off on the 23rd April. She is the first of several doctors facing GMC tribunals so what happens to her sets an important precedent.
