More Italian 'Il Silvstre' Raids & Other News

Urgent ELP! Bulletin (30th May 2008)

Dear friends

ELP has three lots of news for you today:

1) Raids in Italy - New Il Silvestre prisoner
2) Sean Kirtley Sentenced to four and a half years imprisonment
3) Rod's mail is too radical


1) On the 29th of May 2008 the Italian police raided a number of houses whose occupants are connected to the eco-anarchist group Il Silvestre (most ELP supporters will be aware the police are constantly harrassing and bringing false prosecutions against the group Il Silvestre). The charge against those raided this time is "subversive conspiracy". It is alleged that Il Silvestre activists robbed a post office to help fund their alleged direct action activities and publish their literature.

One of the people raided yesterday is vegan activist Paola Gori who is linked to the Italian prisoner support group Senza Gabbie. As a result of these latest raids Paola has been remanded into custody.

Paola is known to ELP as a dedicated prisoner support activist and we encourage everyone to support her.

Please send urgent letters of support to:

Paola Gori
Via delle Macchie 9
57124 Livorno
Italy

Paola can read English as well as Italian, so please send her a letter of support today.

2) Today, British vegan animal rights activist, Sean Kirtly, was sentenced to four and a half years imprisonment for running a website which encouraged LAWFUL protest against the vivisection company Sequani Ltd.

Please send urgent letters of support to:

3) American vegetarian animal/earth lib prisoner, Rod Coronado, has been told that some of his mail is "too radical" and consequently it is not being passed onto Rod.

It is not yet clear what mail is and isn't getting through to Rod, but for the time being his support campaign are asking "Please no materials regarding ALF, ELF, animal liberation, um…. what else, radical anything. Until further notification, I would suggest these guidelines be followed".

Unradical letters of support should be sent to:

Rodney Coronado #03895-000
