Statement from John Bowden

John Bowden | 07.09.2007 14:26 | Repression | World

After an international campaign in support of John Bowden and in defence of the Anarchist Black Coss, John is to be returned to open conditions.

On Friday the 31st August, representatives of the management at Castle Huntley prison and Glenochil prison met at Glenochil and agreed to accept the reccomendation of Dawn Harris [see  https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/scotland/2007/08/379322.html] that I be returned to an open prison. The allegations of social worker Matt Stillman, claiming that I was linked to a "terrorist group" (the Anarchist Black Cross) had been effectively discredited and proved false.

I would like to express my deepest heartfelt thanks to the ABC and others who expressed support and solidarity with me over the last few months, and provided me with the strength and encouragement to endure the consequences of Stillman's ludicrous allegations.
