Prison News

Seven protesters were imprisoned for breach of injunction (see EF! AU no 4) on 23 July, for 28 days. They have now all been released after spending 13 days in Pentonvilie (men) or Holloway (women). (One protester was released after three days on agreeing to purge her contempt of court.) All are more determined than ever to stop the government's thoroughly insane roads programme. Whilst in prison they received about 50 letters a day from around the world. They were visited regularly, including visits from Cano Ripa da Meana and Chris Smith, the shadow environment minister.
