Protest in Defence of Gaza Demonstrators Monday 26 April 9.30am
Isleworth Crown Court, 36 Ridgeway Road, Isleworth TW7 5LP
***SOLIDARITY NEEDED IN COURT***

Martin Askew, a writer from London, faces a lengthy prison term if the jury find him guilty of violent disorder. Mr Askew was himself brutally attacked by a police sergeant who gave evidence last week saying he "hit him as hard as I could" in the head with his full-body shield. The jury had earlier seen footage of Mr Askew showing peace signs to police lines moments before he was attacked. The police sergeant in question said he "jabbed" Mr Askew because he had been "distracting" police and had to "take him out".
