Dozens of protesters have been charged with Obstruction of the Highway. Some have managed to obtain Legal Aid, but others haven’t. Although everyone should try to get Legal Aid (get your solicitor to apply) the reality is that many people will have to defend themselves in court. Don’t be daunted by this – many people have done this sucessfully in the past. Obstruction is a complicated charge and the caselaw is in favour of protesters. LDMG will hold a workshop on Saturday 18th October 2003 at 2pm in London at which a solicitor will go through the law and procedure and answer questions. The workshop is free, but to get a place you must email LDMG. Sorry, but due to space, this workshop is only open to those charged with Obstruction of the Highway at DESi.
