Tomorrow morning Activists from Democracy Village, the protest camp against the war in Afghanistan will be appearing in court. Come and show solidarity at the The Strand High Court, 10am 3rd of June. Please show support against this repression of our right to peaceful assembly and protest.
The hearing will be an open session and the camp hopes for a chance to be able to make their point and continue to practice their democratic right to protest.
If the camp loses the case, there will be repression in the form of an eviction to move those staying on parliament square, including ex-soldiers now homeless and prolific campaigners who have been protesting there since 2001 and a whole plethora of concerned individuals. The decisions made in court may set a precedent for future protests and so it is vital to show a strong defence and a united front.
We must defend the right to protest! Show solidarity!

innovative way of removing Brian Haw from P-square

We are Change - we create a scenerio which provokes the state having to act, then ruin it for everybody else forthwith by enabling the state to ban permeanent protest there! That is the prospect - probably explains why Brian Haw is so pissed off with the so-called 'Democracy Village'
