Stewart Street Appeal: Glasgow

On November 18th, the trial of the "Hope Street 11" finally ended. They had chained themselves across Hope Street, Glasgow, demonstrating against the high levels of transport originated pollution for the May Climate Action. The 11 day trial spread across a month cost half a million pounds! Nine people were found guilty of breach of the peace and charged 50. Two others charged received 'not proven' verdicts.

The eleven were taken to Stewart Street Cop Shop and are keen to highlight the dodgy conditions of this place - a man died there last year. Calls welcome from people needing evidence of conditions in Stewart St Police Station. 0141 4241797.
