Activists scaled parliament yesterday to protest at the continued atrocities in Afghanistan. One of them, Seamus, has been given bail conditions that imply he may be shot if he trespasses again.

Seamus is also in court at Horseferry Road on Monday morning at 10am on a charge of assaulting war criminal Jack Straw. Support and solidarity warmly welcomed at the Court then.

Seamus is required to stay out of London and report daily to a police station in Swansea.

The grounds given for these conditions are many and varied. Police seem to have ticked all the boxes in order to justify their draconian conditions. These include "For the person's own protection", "interfering with a witness or otherwise obstructing the course of justice" (this appears groundless), and "for that person's own welfare or own interests (if child or young person)" (which seamus is not!).

The reasons given why the conditions 'appear necessary' include "to protect designated sites in London, to prevent pd being shot or harmed by officers within protected site".

So effectively this is a hardly disguised warning that if Seamus attempts to protest peacefully against the Afghanistan war (something that 75% of the UK population agree with him over), he is threatened with death or injury at the hands of armed police.
