Gaza demo - support prisoners - witnesses needed

Message from Margaret Evans regarding the Gaza Demonstration Prisoners

Further to the previous email regarding the very severe charges and sentences arising from the above event. I contacted Joanna Gilmore Manchester University School of Law who is researching this issue. The reason being that although I did not witness any incidents I was involved in the Met Police 'kettling operation' and was to say the least 'very scarred' even after 50 years experience of protesting. I described to her in detail re our experience - there were several of us - very concerned for our own safety and the safety of others who were with us - who were older than us - yes even older!

She was very interested to hear my views and would be contacting the lawyers of the defendants with the information.

 

I was travelling on the Stockport/Didsbury Mosque coach to this event. There was a young woman at the back of the coach who was a media studies student who had a large video/press camera she was using on the protest. On the way home in the coach she showed us pictures of police behaviour at the protest. If anyone knows who she is or her name - will someone put her in touch with me (Margaret Evans 0161 432 9513 or the researcher Joanna Gilmore - Manchester University  School of Law [joanna.gilmore@manchester.ac.uk]
