hi - message to the person who published these pics - it is possible to publish several pictures at once via the indymedia publish form, so you don't need to do a new posting for every single one of the 15 pictures. As such they have been collected here under one posting. The order may be a little out as all the pictures needed to be resized as well since they were very big files both in file size and dimensions. If there's a problem with this, you can get in touch with indymedia features email list - see the detail here:  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/static/contact.html

For more info on publishing pics see:

Your photos could help in Upcoming Trials

24.08.2007 18:41

Photos or videos that show clashes between protesters and police could be VITAL to somebody's criminal trial.

For example, one of the campers who had a blue placard of the earth (identical to the ones in these pictures) is accused of 'assaulting' a police officer with it. He faces trial in November on what is a very serious charge. If you or someone you know has video clips or photos of clashes between police and people holding BLUE SHIELDS / placards could you please send it to the Legal Support team at the Camp:  legalsupport@climatecamp.org.uk? Your footage could exonerate someone. Thank you.
