Urgent appeal to defend the right to protest outside M&S in Manchester!

Victory to the intifada, 04-12-2004 19:09

This afternoon the most serious attack on the democratic right to protest in Manchester occurred. At least nine protesters from Manchester Victory to the Intifada Group have been arrested under the Section 14 of the Public Order Act as the police attempt to crush the picket. We call upon everyone to call Manchester police to demand their immediate release. The number to call is 0161 872 5050. At this stage it is unclear to which police station our comrades have been moved to or the full extent of the charges or when they will be released.

M&S Picket: Oppose Zionist/Police Aggression

LB, Vicory To the Intifada group, 20-09-2004 11:09

This time we were well prepared and we outnumbered the racists, but as last week showed this might not always be the case. Read more | 10 comments >>
