This article appeared as (yet another) toss-off from the Guantanamo Bay crowd.
I suggest we vamp up like we did for the Clive Stafford Smith article. Gareth is an amazing woman and she clearly deserves a better article.
She was born Jean Gareth Peirce, but dropped her first name, btw.
Here are some online resources that might help
Also, she spent time in the US in the 1960s working as a journalist covering the civil rights movement-Martin Luther King. The BBC profile says, Returning to the UK (in the 1970's) she took a postgraduate course at the London School of Economics before being recruited as a solicitor by the radical law firm run by Benedict Birnberg. She lives lives in an end-of-terrace Victorian cottage in a leafy cul-de-sac in Kentish Town

Education Cheltenham Ladies' College; Oxford University; postgraduate course at London School of Economics

...and "married Bill Peirce". A weird coincidence, or is one of these a mistake?
Reverted it to the old version that wasnt vandalised, I think it worked properly.

Spiteful, nasty words, from people who presumably do not wish the rule of law to be fairly applied.
One cannot "return an honour", one only ceases to be a member of the order, once appointed, if the Sovereign expels the appointee from the order. She may have returned the insignia, but she remains a CBE. It is just an empty gesture, like the one made by John Lennon. He remained a MBE until the day he died. 650 Norton (1951) ( talk) 17:14, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Peirce stated today on BBC R4 (A Law Unto Themselves) that she immediately wrote refusing the honour but that this was ignored/lost? She then wrote again confirming her refusal.

The lead paragraph included the line:
The cited source, however, actually say:
Firstly, there is a difference between "Muslim" and "Islamist." Secondly, the lead text suggests her work is solely/predominantly in the field of alleged terrorism, even though the main text details three cases that are not terrorism-related, four that are, but in one the individual did not have a Irish "background." I have therefore amended the text. Nick Cooper ( talk) 10:24, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
If you look at the link to his birth date, you will see that it says 1930, not 1928. Hayford Peirce ( talk) 03:46, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
According to this website, her legal name is Jean Gareth Peirce. Comments? Quis separabit? 23:40, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
