SOCPA - support brian haw tomorrow (short version)

rikki | 04.09.2006 18:57 | Indymedia | Repression | London

five years of parliament square anti-war vigil and still there. brian haw is in court at marylebone court tomorrow afternoon. supporters are welcome outside the court and in the public gallery.

(short version of previous post)

brian is due in court to face charges of breach of conditions later this month, but tomorrow 5th september, he will appear at marylebone magistrates court and his solicitors will be seeking postponement of this trial on two grounds. the most important of these is because they are seeking a judicial review of the police behaviour - whether the conditions imposed by police were lawful within the terms of the act, and whether the police were within their power to swoop and confiscate brian's display before the judicial process was exhausted. there is also a procedural matter that amongst the items confiscated were legal documents, evidence for the defence, private letters, and so on. the fact that these items are now in the hands of the prosecution casts doubt on the lawfulness of any trial and certainly prevents brian from preparing a defence before the scheduled 12th september hearing..

BRIAN HAW APPEARS AT MARYLEBONE MAGISTRATES COURT TUESDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER AT 2PM - SUPPORTERS ARE VERY WELCOME FROM 1.30PM OUTSIDE, AND THE HEARING IS PUBLIC.
181 Marylebone Road London NW1 5QJ - Marylebone Tube Station (also near Baker Street and Edgware Road)
