Support Needed For Antifascist Prisoner

...

Postcard sent to Kevin Reilly by Leeds ABC on Mayday

Ravinder Gill is one of the six UK antifascists imprisoned last year after being fitted-up for 'conspiracy to cause violent disorder'. While the other five comrades have all been released, either subject to curfew on electronic tag, or in the case of Thomas Blak to deportation, Ravi Gill remains in prison. Ravi is an avid reader, but books sent to him by Haven Distribution, a supplier approved by the Prison Service, are being withheld from him by the Governor of Wayland, Kevin Reilly. Ravi's complaints about this abuse of power and violation of the Human Rights Act are simply being ignored by this jumped up 'Little Hitler'. We therefore ask you to send cards, letters, faxes to Mr Reilly asking him to explain himself. You can also phone him. Please take a few minutes to show Ravi Gill that he is not alone.

Quick note on the tel. number

The number is for the switchboard and they won't pass on calls to Reilly unless there's a good reason so it's a good idea to have an explanation for the call - and support for a prisoner is not something they will pass a call on for. The receptionist who's there today also refuses to take memo or written notes to pass on so your call is only effective if you can be transferred through.

Solidarity to all prisoners and comrades.

Good call

Thanks Welsh comrade, I'm sure Mr Reilly will be aware of the calls being received and of the support for Ravi.
