The New Dark Age

25 March, 2010

Dear all,
Here’s a reminder to sign the petition against the disproportionate sentences given to these protesters. It’s being handed in next Tuesday & it would be great to get 1000 names, (it was in the 500s when I looked last night).

A defence campaign has been set up for the protestors who have been charged with offences at the Gaza demonstrations in January 2009. (DETAILS, UPDATES, PETITION:  http://bit.ly/d1FqIA)

More than 20 of the 78 people charged have been sent to prison in an unprecedented campaign by the police. Almost all of those charged are Muslims. The campaign to defend the protestors has resulted in some good press coverage, and one of the first defendants to plead not guilty was acquitted last week.

Please sign the petition in defence of the protestors, which will be delivered to the Home Office at a protest on Tuesday 30 March, 4.30pm.

We are asking our supporters to download the petition for collecting signatures as widely as they can. Please send them  to the Stop the War office in time for the 30 March protest at the Home Office.
