On Tuesday March 25th. Zelda Jeffers was sentenced to 14 days imprisonment for her nonviolent resistance at DSEi 07. Zelda, along with fellow London Catholic Worker Fr. Martin Newell, poured a lot of red paint in the path of delegates attending the arms fair. The delegates left "bloodied" footprints in their wake entering the fair. Zelda has been moved to Holloway Prison. Newell served a sentence in Brixton last week.

Zelda worked for 6 years in Nicaragua when it was under siege from the U.S. backed Contras. She also worked for two years on the Amazon with an indigineous tribe. She presently lives and works at the London Catholic Worker www.londoncatholicworker.org
offering accomodation to refugees, many fleeing war zones, who would otherwise be homeless They also do a Sunday soup kitchen in Hackney for street homeless and run a cheap cafe in Dalston that acts as a community centre.

Do you have an address to write to her? That piece didn't seem to contain one, and it'd be pretty difficult to write to her without one.
