Brighton - Squat trial begins Monday
Hier kun je discussieren over Brighton - Squat trial begins Monday.
On September 3 2012, some squatters were arrested for being in a derelict
building under section 144 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment
of Offenders Act. They are up for pleading not guilty and fighting this
stupid new law.
The three defendants are booked in for a two and a half day trial at
Brighton Magistrates Court which starts at 10am Monday April 22 2013.
There will be a protest outside court. Solidarity actions are welcome.
The charges originally were squatting (under s144), obstruction (of the
police in their lawful duty) and abstraction (ie stealing electricity).
The abstraction charge has already been dropped.
