News & info from the Bristol Dissent group in post-G8 mode...

1. Bristol Dissent’s 2nd post-G8 summit meeting - will take place on 2 August, 7.30pm, at Kebele, 14 Robertson Rd, Easton, Bristol, BS5 (tel 0117 939 9469). Up for discussion will be the agenda for the next national Dissent gathering (6/7 August in south Wales); along with a review of how effective Dissent was locally & nationally; and what we may do next…?

2. Bristol’s 1st post-G8 summit meet was held on 19 July - and heard report backs/comments on events before/during the G8 summit in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Faslane, Stirling (the convergence camp-site) & Gleneagles. There was also a report from an individual involved in the BStW backed mini-buses that travelled to Scotland. For full reports on events during the G8 summit see  http://indymedia.org.uk/en/actions/2005/g8/. Lastly there was a report on the Bristol anti-G8 demo on 6 July, attended by some 300 people, and believed to be one of the largest anti-G8 events in the UK outside Scotland. Nice one Bristol!

3. Bristol/southwest G8 defendants – Bristol Dissent is aware of 5 people locally facing charges/trials arising from non-violent direct actions on 6 July in Scotland, and of at least person already fined for a similar action (fine of £400). A number of other people from our area were also detained during the G8 protests, but not subsequently charged. This includes one legal observer volunteer held for upto 9 hours on 6 July before being released without charge. For G8 Legal Support info please see www.g8legalsupport.info and there is also a national prisoner/defendant contact email at  july2005solidarity@yahoo.co.uk

Bristol Dissent is committed to supporting those facing charges, both practically, financially & emotionally. Around £120 has been raised so far, further donations are welcome – either cash at Bristol Dissent meetings, or by cheque (payable to ‘bristle’, with a note stating ‘defendant support’, to Bristle, Box 25, 82 Colston St, Bristol, BS1 5BB). Many thanks if you can help. Various fundraising ideas are in the pipeline!

4. ‘Bristling defiance’ – benefit 17 September. Organised by Bristle magazine (www.bristle.org.uk) in association with Bristol Dissent, to coincide with publication of issue 20 of Bristle mag. All proceeds to Bristle & G8 defendants. Venue booked. There will be 3 or 4 bands, plus DJ’s, film projections & stalls. Door tax £5/6. From 8pm to 3.30am. Full details to be announced shortly.
