American and Greek news

ELP Information Bulletin (9th October 2008)

Dear friends

ELP has two lots of news for you.

Firstly, the American prisoner, Marie Mason, has been moved to a new prison address. As all ELP supporters will be aware, Marie recently admitted her involvement with an ELF arson campaign aimed at a University involved with GM crop tests. She was also named by the police as a participant in a number of other ELF actions. Marie is currently on remand awaiting sentencing where she is expected to receive 15-20 years imprisonment.

Please send letters of support to:

Marie Jeanette Mason
Clinton County Jail
1347 E Townsend Rd.
Saint Johns, MI 48879
USA

Marie is a vegan so it is essential she is also supported in making sure she receives the correct diet.

The second bit of news is Vaggelis Botzatzis, the Greek anarchist has been released from prison pending trial. He has been held on remand for 18 months which is the maximum time, under Greek law, he could be kept imprisoned without trial. Therefore the authorities were forced to free him. Vaggelis (along with three other people whose locations are unknown to the police) has been wrongly accused of the following actions: 1) setting fire to two public power company vehicles protesting the environmental harm caused by the company. 2) Setting fire to a bank in support of political/revolutionary prisoners. 3) Setting fire to a French car agency during suburban riots in France.
