NatWest Three: protest march today against extradition to USA

Three British citizens who used to work for the Nat West bank, could have FBI snatch squads knocking on their doors any time from now, after their appeal to the European Court of Human Rights against being extradited to the USA was rejected on Monday.

'ILLEGAL' MARCH PLANNED TODAY

The case has outraged top City buisness supporters of the NatWest Three so much that they have quickly organised what may be an 'illegal march' on the Home Office today.

The demo may be illegal under new laws (Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005) which require one weeks notice before any demonstration near the Houses of Parliament.

STREET FIGHTING SUITS

The march, which could be the smartest dressed demo ever, is even supported by Sir Digby Jones, the Chairman of the CBI. He says the three 'wanted' men "represent no threat to society, yet they will be banged up in a US prison with rapists and drug addicts, deprived of their liberty for up to two years even while a case is compiled."

Apparently organisers of the demonstration has been warned by the Police that anything except business suits i.e. tshirts, placards, slogans etc. "will not be tolerated".

NATWEST THREE DEMO DETAILS:

THURSDAY 29th JUNE AT 5pm from the Institute of Directors in Pall Mall, marching to the Home Office in Marsham Street in Marsham Street, a short distance away. Dress smart - or be extradited.
