G8: prisoner solidarity

@ | 06.07.2005 17:00 | G8 2005 | London | World

Over 400 people arrested during a day of blockades and actions against the G8 summit. Prisoner solidarity demo Thursday 10.30am

Today, over 400 people have been arrested during blockades and actions against the first day of the G8 summit. The arrested have been taken to police stations in Perth, Dundee and Edinburgh and will start appearing in court tommorrow.

Already, on Monday 4th July, at 'the carnival for full enjoyment, in Edinburgh, there were 125 arrests. Many people were deported from Scotland and 17 people remain in prison. Men are being held in Saughton prison in Edinburgh, and women are being held in a prison in Stirling.

Tommorrow, Thursday 7th July, will be a day of prisoner solidarity. At 10.30 am there will be a solidarity breakfast outside the Sheriff's Court in Chambers Street, Edinburgh where those arrested in Edinburgh will be appearing. This will be followed by an assembly at 12pm outside the court to decide the location of the next demonstration, which will follow at 6pm.

Solidarity with the prisoners is urgently needed. We also require donations of money for prisoner support.

Please donate via the Legal Defence and Monitoring Group (LDMG):

Legal Action Is IMPERATIVE!!!

06.07.2005 18:23

A sad pattern which has developed at these meetings are the mass arrests which are used to clear the streets, and limit the visibility of the Demos. Most often, these are illegal actions on the part of the police, and all charges against demonstrators are dropped.

The Elite has gotten what it wanted; The streets are cleared, and the Opposition silenced, or at the very least, quieted.

If this is the case, the legal action is a must. If we continue to allow this criminal behaviour to go unpunished, this will only embolden the perpetrators.

Alliance & Leicester? So it's really ok to use big corporate business when you lot want to?

Doesn't this bank put people into debt throuout the world then? Doesn't this bank float on the stockmarket then?

A tad double standards on the anti-corporate claims eh?
