Iceland holds UK protestor for alleged £40,000 damage using yoghurt

Karen U Karr | 16.06.2005 13:10 | Ecology | Globalisation | London | World

Paul Gill, a British protester against Iceland's ecologically devastating Karahnjukar dam project, is being held for allegedly committing £40,000 worth of criminal damage using yoghurt.

Details are sketchy at the moment, but it seems Paul and two icelanders attended an international aluminium industry conference and made their protest felt using the medium of yoghurt.

Subsequently the three were arrested. The two Icelanders were released, but Paul is being held at Litla Hraun prison in Reykjavik. The hotel hosting the conference is apparently seeking to press charges for £40,000 of criminal damage.

Please contact any or all of the following:

Litla Hraun Prison, Reykjavik: 00354 4809000 (between 6pm and 10pm), then press 3.

The British Consul: Simon Mitchell, 00354 6901501. Please be polite, we want these people on our side!

If anyone's reading this in Iceland, Paul could really do with some support - legal, material and financial.

* Can anyone recommend a good lawyer for this sort of thing? At the moment Paul's having to rely on a police-appointed lawyer.

* He could do with some clothes, soap and washing stuff and books in English.

* Money wouldn't go amiss, for phone cards etc.

Please do what you can to help! Email  icelandsupport@trition.org.uk with any queries.
