Victory for Luton 4

On the 28th of October last year 4 animal rights activists were arrested for breach of section 14 of the public order act during a protest at AstraZeneca offices in Luton for their use of the notorious animal testing lab Huntingdon Life Sciences.

The arrest was blatant breach of human rights and an attack on freedom of speech. After a two day trail the prosecution dropped the case. After the case was dropped we went straight back to AstraZeneca to let them know the outcome of the trail and to continued what we were doing before we were so rudely interrupted that warm October afternoon.

We will be back at the offices soon, see you then.

up here in Herefordshire there have been many victories over the last 6 months all tied in with the ongoing protest against the animal torturers sequani laboratories in Ledbury.

First Sean kirtley released by the high court sept 09 after serving 16 months for "conspiring to interfere" with Sequani and its helpers, it was found that he infact 'conspired' with nobody and was immediately set free at appeal and awarded costs.

Seperately two others had their ridiculous trespass charges dropped by hereford cps over the last 4 months, both arrests were centred around sequani.

This is what happens when the filth make up the law on the spot to suit their individual selves. Makes the cps look like dickheads time and time again as well :-D

Every single arrest at Sequani in the last 5 years bar to my knowledge 2 where the defendants pleaded guilty has reslulted in the CPS being thrashed in court. This has cost the tax payer millions. Meanwhile the police still lavish attention on the vivisectors whilst ignoring ordinary people. The recent tragic death of Gabby Grady the 5 year old whose dad drove into the Avon only down the road from me may have been averted if West Mercia police had listened to concerns aired to them so it is rumoured locally. Instead of protecting children though only a few doors away from us the police were far more interested in knocking on our door at all hours over a few stickers and a minor verbal altercation at a shop selling fur.
