Inigo Makazaga, who is a Basque political prisoner, and Kevin Nevers, have both been refused the paper and given empty envelopes, with the words ‘racial paper, needs to be returned to sender or destroyed under 10 day rule.

Larkin Publications, which produces FRFI has written to the prison protesting, as have the legal representatives for the prisoners. They have all pointed out that this decision is not only ridiculous, but also in contravention of the prisoners’ rights under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. It also contradicts a judgment by the Prisons Ombudsman in 2002 that followed another prison doing the same thing.

People are asked to protest about this by writing to the governor at:

HMP BELMARSH
Western Way
Thamesmead
LONDON
SE28 0EB
fax: 020 8331 4401

and the Director General of the Prison Service at:

Prison Service Headquarters
Cleland House
Page Street
LONDON

This is being reposted as it was said to breach the guidelines. I can't believe Belmarsh prison and Indymedia are taking the same stance.
This is not an advert for FRFI. It is a complaint about censorship. It is virtually identical to an earlier posting about exactly the same thing, with the only difference that 2 prisoners are now complaining about the same thing.
