Dear activists,
Gabriel Villeneuve needs your support!
Dear activists,
Gabriel Villeneuve needs your support!
While out of town to give a talk and a workshop on direct action and SHAC
tactics, Gabriel Villeneuve and 3 other activists were arrested and thrown
in jail on Friday Feb. 22 in Quebec city, Canada (near Montreal) for
allegibly participating in a demonstration against a company that do
business with Huntingdon life Sciences. They presumably went inside a
company office armed with a megaphone banner and informative flyers. They
informed the workers and customers about the relation the company has with
HLS and left the property as soon as someone asks them to leave.
Apparently freedom of speech covered by the Canadian constitution doesn’t
cover freedom to express our disgust against companies who see no problems
of paying and supporting the murder of 500 animals a day at HLS. Everyone
was eventually released out of jail after 3 days but authorities decided
to keep Gabriel for a much longer and not determined period of time.
Gabriel is a long time SHAC activist and is someone who, a few years ago,
decided to put everything aside in his life to dedicate his life to help
shut down HLS. He is a great source of inspiration for many people,
please support him.
You can send him postal cards, letters, pictures (no Polaroid), drawing,
news clip, internet articles, Canadian and international stamps and money
order. He is not allowed to receive books, magazine and other material.
You can also write him letters by email (at  shaccanada@riseup.net)which
will be printed and sent to him by his prisoners support committee. He
would like to receive short letters more often than long letters only
once.
He would like to hear about all kinds of actions that is going on in your
area and everywhere else in the world. He likes DIY punk rock, hardcore,
black history, general activism causes and vegan raw nutrition. Gab
biggest wish while in jail is to see a rise in the amount of
demonstrations and all types of actions across the world against HLS.
Please take a few minutes to write him a letter!
