Two Hunt Monitors were in a privately owned Gyrocopter. The Gyrocopter landed for fuel and at least one of the hunt suppoters went up to confront the Hunt Monitors. Sadly in doing so the hunt supporter was hit by the gyrocopter and died. Sam Butler, of the Warwickshire Hunt, said it was a "tragic but fatal accident".
However, despite the obvious facts this was an accident, the police decided to arrest the two people in the gyrocopter on suspicion of murder!!! As a result of that, Bryan Griffiths (the pilot of the gyrocopter) has now been formally charged with murder and has been remanded into custody.
This is such a blatent miscarriage of justice its unbelievable and if anyone is a member of Amnesty International we encourage them to contact Amnesty about this. In the mean time please send urgent letters of support to:
Bryan Griffiths XW8892
HMP Hewell
Hewell Lane
Redditch B97 6QS
England
Bryan is a vegetarian.
Please remember,when writing to Bryan that he is up on a very very very serious charge,so despite your views on fox hunting, don't say anything like "the bastard deserved it" or anything like that. This was a tragic accident and Bryan never intended to even injure the hunt supporter, yet alone kill him.

Double standards.

Another matter of double standards relates to the fact that illegal hunting is still going on. Yet again, the force of bent law and order fails to act. This, when hunt sabs are persecuted for their legal activity.
