Good news from around the world!

ELP Information Bulletin (14th of November 2008)

Dear friends

ELP has some great news from around the world!

First off, the three Animal Rights activists, jailed in Stockholm accused of criminal damage to a fur shop have been released from prison following their trial today. The three do not know the verdict of their trial yet and will find that out on the 28th of November. As soon as ELP has a verdict we will let you know.

Secondly, ELP has been told that the two Tasmanians arrested for anti-logging activity at the end of last month are due in court next week but they are not expecting any prison sentences.

Of course all this on top of the news that despite being found guilty at the end of her trial, Giana Rodrigues Gomes from Spain was sentenced to three years imprisonment but instantly released due to time served on remand. Her co-defendant Ugio Caamanho Sam-Tisso, was also found guilty and senteced to just under five years imprisonment (far less than the 21 years the prosecution wanted). Due to his time served on remand Ugio is expected to be released in the next few months. However in the mean time please continue to send letters of support to:
