Dear Friends,

"We are united in believing that every woman, and every person, has a
right to participate in the struggle for social and environmental justice,
without fear of persecution, objectification, or interference in their
lives."

If you agree with this, and you know other people who do too, please help
us spread the word. Eight women are resisting police attempts to strike
out their legal action over undercover police abuse. They take this action
in solidarity with all the individuals and organisations that have been
affected by undercover policing.


Please support them:

*Solidarity Picket outside Royal Courts of Justice, 9am-10am, Tuesday 18th
March 2014, The Strand, London, WC2*
(Holborn or Temple tube) For more info see:

We'd love it if you could forward this email to your friends and networks.
Please show the women that they do not stand alone.

In solidarity,
Police Spies Out of Lives

======= What's this hearing about?

Eight women are taking legal action against the police after being
deceived into relationships with undercover officers.

At the preliminary hearing on Tuesday 18 March 2014 - Wednesday 19 March
2014:

* Five of the women will face an attempt by the police to have their
common law claims struck out.  The police claim that as they can 'neither
confirm, nor deny' (NCND) anything about undercover policing, the trial
should not proceed.

* These are the common law claims of "deceit, assault, misfeasance in
public office and negligence" made by the women who were deceived into
long-term intimate relationships with undercover officers.

* The police are also applying (should their application for a strike-out
fail) for secrecy measures against the women's case.

* For more information on the background on the case, see
http://policespiesoutoflives.org.uk/the-case-overview/
