On Friday 16th September, 3 student activists dropped a banner reading "Traitors Not Welcome, Hate Clegg Love NCAFC" for the opening of the Liberal Democrat 2011 conference in Birmingham. All 3 activists were arrested and held in police cells over the weekend, charged with road traffic offenses. At their bail hearing on Monday 19th, 2 were released on bail, whilst the third individual was remanded in custody.
His next bail hearing is on Monday 26th September, by which time , he will have spent 10 days in prison before trial for peacefully protesting. We are holding a solidarity demonstration outside the Magistrates court to show our support for him and our disgust at the decision to remand a peaceful protester in custody.
It as a solidarity protest but it is also about showing that such a transgression of free speach will not go unnoticed:-
