Emily Apple, a die-hard anti-capitalist non-stop direct action activist is being sentenced at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Wednesday 13th for obstruction of the railways during protests against DSEi (Defence Systems Exhibition International) September 2001. DSEi is Europes biggest arms fair, catering for dictators and oppressive regimes throughout the world, selling landmines (banned under UN law), hawkjets, cluster bombs, rocket launchers, anti-ballistic missles, you name it. She and a friend handcuffed themselves to a DLR train containing delegates to DSEi, stopping them, literally, in their tracks, from reaching the place. Her friend has been aquitted but Emily was convicted and now faces up to two years in prison - for a fluffy, non-violent, effective bit of direct action to prevent a global breach of the peace! (sorta)

Upon reading Emily's history (she has been prosecuted quite a few times before but has successsfully defended herself in court and won her cases) the presideing Judge declared that 'Society needs a break' from Emily!! The odds do not look good for her.

So

Come down for a big, brash supportive send-off breakfast for Emily! - meet in the park in the grounds of the court (you can't miss it) for vegan delights, bracing beverages, song, dance and continuing resistance.
