ELP Information Bulletin (17th May 2008)

Dear friends

With ELP having to bring you so much bad news recently we thought we'd bring you some good news. Canadian Animal Rights Activist, Gabriel Villeneuve, who earlier this year was jailed for allegedly breaching his bail conditions, has been found not guilty at his trial.

Below is a mailout from the group that has been running his support campaign:

Gabriel Villeneuve found not guilty

Last Tuesday was held the trial of the 4 activists arrested in Quebec
while protesting against animal cruelty. The trial last almost all day
long and 6 witness spoke about the event (4 employees and 2 cops). While
watching the video footage taken by the activists at the protest, the
Judge was able to see by himself that what an activist said was not
'Everybody down' has plead by the state prosecutor but something more
likely to be 'Purolator'.

Gabriel Villeneuve was found not guilty right away on every count.
Remember that he was not at the protest and had to spend 27 days in jail.
He now has to do legal procedures to bring the government to court to be
to be compensated for what he went through in connection with his
imprisonment.

The three other activists have to go back to Quebec courthouse on July 15
for their judgment. Because the trial went very well, everyone is very
optimistic about the judgement.

Thanks to everyone who supported the activists and we'll keep you informed
in time.
