>Dear Friend
>
>Yesterday you may have read in the papers about Maya Anne Evans who 
>received a criminal conviction just for standing outside Downing Street and 
>reading out the names of the British soldiers killed in Iraq. Let your MP 
>know how wrong this is by emailing him or her at www.writetothem.com/.
>
>We at Our World Our Say (OWOS), along with many others, think this is an 
>outrage and that we should all take action. MPs need to know that people 
>will not let freedom of expression and association be crushed in this way. 
>A way used by the apartheid regime in South Africa and the totalitarian 
>government in East Germany before the Berlin Wall came down.
>
>If they won’t let Maya and other protesters read those names out why don’t 
>we all send our MPs a list of the soldiers and ask them what they’re going 
>to do about it?
>
>Let your MP know how wrong this is by emailing him or her at 
>www.writetothem.com/.
>
>Maya was found guilty of breaching Section 132 of the Serious Organised 
>Crime and Police Act 2005. This section of the Act makes it virtually 
>impossible to hold any sort of protest within 1 kilometre of Parliament 
>without police permission and stringent conditions.
>
>There is a simple action you can take to support Maya Anne Evans and to 
>both protest against the illegal and immoral war in Iraq and against this 
>parliamentary act.
>
>If the Government won’t let people read out the names of the soldiers 
>killed then perhaps we should all write to our MPs with a list of those 
>names and a demand for this draconian law to be withdrawn. You can do that 
>at www.writetothem.com/
>
>At the bottom of this email you will find the list of British soldiers that 
>Maya was arrested for reading out. You could copy this list into an email 
>to your MP, which you can send from www.writetothem.com/.
>
>You could also ask your MP whether they will work to get Section 132 of the 
>Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 repealed; what they are going 
>to do about the appalling security situation the invasion of Iraq has 
>brought about; and when will the UK’s troops be withdrawn from Iraq. It has 
>been estimated that the illegal and immoral war in Iraq has cost around 
>100,000 lives according to an analysis by The Lancet.
>
>For Maya and for everyone protesting to protect our freedom contact your MP 
>now.
