While I am happy to act as a forwarding address for the above, if that is really the best way, I would be grateful if the original poster could contact me so that I know who is using my email address for this purpose!

Just to make things perfectly clear....

The person who posted the original request for witnesses above for some reason chose to put my email address in their message.

I don't know who the original poster is, nor why they put my email address.

So there is not much point sending witness statements to me. If this is a genuine request for help perhaps someone could give an email address where offers of help might reach a useful destination.

Thanks

Arrest at Menwith Hill - 4 July

06.07.2003 11:54

Please would you let us know (the day was organised by CAAB and friends)

Did you see a copy of the legal briefing available on the day?

What happened?

If you had help from the firm of solicitors which CAAB arranged for the day at Harrogate police station?

Are you being represented on Thurday (only a 'plea' hearing)?

Do you need any help?

Menwith Witness Plea

12.07.2003 12:33


I was at the M*nwith 4th July Demo/ march
and I was just wondering if anyone could
help me.

I was one of the 3 arrested people, the
first person infact, the short guy in the
red Kuffiah/ Shamaag. My arrest took place
at approx. 14:13, just before the march
really got going and I was directly behind
the (Sheff?) Samba band.

I am hoping that IMC/ people who are visting
here can help me track down some witnesses
of my arrest(s) for me?

The CPS/ police are prosecuting me and if
anyone can help, is willing to be a witness
for me then please get in touch.

Love and Anger
