New British SHAC prisoner

ELP Information Bulletin (30th July 2008)

Dear friends

ELP has just learnt that today British SHAC activist Dan Amos was remanded into custody after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to blackmail charges. he charges related to him campaigning against Huntingdon Life Sciences.

We understand that Dan is spending the night in a police cell in Hampshire as, due to prison over crowding there is no space for him in any of the local prisons! (As someone who has had the "joy" of an overnight stay in a Hampshire police cell I can assure you its not a comfortable experience)

As soon as ELP has a prison address for Dan we will let people know. But we strongly encourage everyone to check out the British Vegan Prisoners Support Group website www.vpsg.org as the chances are Dan's prison address will appear on that website first!

Besides Dan, two others have also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to blackmail. They are Natasha Avery and Greg Avery. Both Nat and Greg are already in custody.

Stay tuned for more news on Dan, Nat and Greg as we get it.
