One postcard that the Scottish Prison Service will find it hard to ignore!

As part of our solidarity actions in support of John Bowden on Friday 13th July (see  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/scotland/2007/07/375952.html), Leeds ABC had a rather large postcard for people to sign. The postcard has now been sent to John by recorded delivery, and has apparently left the Castle Huntly authorities perplexed at what to do with it! Even if they refuse to issue it to John they still have to carry what is effectively a giant placard reading 'Hands Off John Bowden' to the wing for him to sign for, and as it's too big to go in a property box, everytime John is moved a screw is going to have to carry it! Postage for the card was @ £2.50, so maybe others would like to send them to John or the SPS.

John Bowden, 6729, HMP Glenochil, King O' Muir Road, Tullibody, Clackmannanshire, FK10 3AD.
