APPEAL FOR INFORMATION TO DEFENDANTS FROM G8 LEGAL SUPPORT GROUP

Court proceedings are already underway for many of the defendants arrested
 at the actions that took place over the week of the G8 summit.
Intermediate  Diets and trials will be continuing through August,
September and October.

The G8 Legal Support group are part of a wider network of defendant
support  that is developing to assist those arrested, remanded and anyone
sent to  prison as a result of the protests.

We are currently working through hundreds of witness statements that were 
completed and returned to us following the arrests. However, due to a lack
 of detail in many of these it is proving very difficult to match witness 
statements to particular defendants. This is therefore an APPEAL to 
DEFENDANTS to contact us as soon as possible if you have not done so 
already.

WE MAY HAVE STATEMENTS THAT CAN ASSIST IN YOUR DEFENCE!
Please contact us at g8legalsupport at riseup.net

In particular we urgently need details of the following:

* YOUR NAME (The name you gave to police and were charged under)
* DETAILS OF THE ACTION YOU TOOK PART IN INCLUDING:
- WHERE ARREST TOOK PLACE (Exact location details),
- DATE & TIME OF ARREST
- WHAT YOU WERE CHARGED WITH
- A PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF YOURSELF (Clothes you were wearing etc.) -
NAME OF YOUR SOLICITOR
- DATES OF INTERMEDIATE DIET AND COURT DATE PROPER
- WHETHER YOU HAVE ANY OTHER WITNESSES & CONTACT DETAILS
- WHETHER YOU HAVE ANY VIDEO/PHOTO FOOTAGE

If you would like to find out more about assisting with defendant and 
prisoner solidarity email:

 info and updates there is a listserv set up at:
