emerged from the Dissent network) has re-launched and
updated its website www.g8legalsupport.info
The website will be updated throughout the course of
the summit protests with breaking news, information on
arrests, prisoner support and solidarity events.
The site features a number of resources for activists.
Most importantly, the Legal Group recommend that
anyone travelling to Scotland download and read the
“Activists Guide to Scottish Law and Police Powers”
available in English and other languages.
Other resources include:
•An online “Witness Statement” to complete if you have
seen an arrest and can help to give evidence to help
the defendant
•Information on the law related to Squatting in
Scotland
•Updates on any Emergency Legislation or police powers
that are rushed through by the Government in response
to summit protests
•Information or advice that the Legal Group can
provide based on monitoring the tactics of the police
during the course of the protests
We recommend that activists regularly return to the
website for any updates or changes in law, in the run
up to the summit as well as during the week of the
protests themselves
If you have any questions for the Legal Support Group,
