Prisoners & Those Arrested
A Body | 03.04.2009 13:49
The mainstream press are reporting that a handful of people have been arrested and charged in relation to offences relating to the RBS building.
According to this report:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7980709.stm
a 17 year old girl has already pled guilty to burglary and criminal damage. Another guy is on remand charged with arson and recklessly endangering life! Several others have been charged with burglary, criminal damage and theft of a computer.
Is there support in place for these people? Are they getting good legal advice? Was this thought of as part of the planning for the demo?
Just wondering, because i haven't seen anything on indymedia about those arrested.
