Message from the former Swedish prisoners

ELP Information Bulletin (13th July 2007)

Dear friends

Recently ELP reported the arrests and remandings of three Swedish
animal rights activists.  More recently we reported the happy news of
their release from prison.

When we circulated their details we only provided an e-mail address
for people to send messages of support to.  People sometimes ask do
these e-mail addresses really work?  Do prisoners really appreciate
the letters of support they receive?  To answer that, please read the
below letter from the three former Swedish prisoners....

 If ELP have any oportunity, the exprisoners want us to spread this letter:

"Dear friends,
just a short note to let you know that all your
support through e-mail was truly appreciated!
After three weeks of incarceration, we were
released on Thursday, June 7th, following our trial.
The whole experience has been tough, but all the
kind and strengthening words and wise thoughts
from strangers made it much easier! The days passed
quicker just knowing that compassionate and
intelligent people like you continue making the world a
better place.
  Warm regards,
T, M and L in Sweden"
