New Years Eve solidarity at Lewes Prison

anon | 04.01.2010 18:33 | Repression

Around 30 people celebrated New Years Eve outside Lewes prison (near Brighton) with fireworks and a sound system...

as well as banners against the prison state and shouting messages of support. Those inside Lewes currently include one of those charged with (and currently on remand for) decomissioning the EDO bomb components factory in Brighton. The evening's comedy highlight was the police (all four of them) deciding to try and turn off the sound system during the last song we planned to play, as they objected to the lyrics of the Xmas number one by Rage Against The Machine. After some push and shove while people sang along to 'fuck you I won't do what you tell me', they backed off, and people headed off to continue their New Year celebrations somewhere warmer while prisoners shouted for us to come back the next night...
