The G8 Legal Support Group has re-launched and updated its website www.g8legalsupport.info
The website will be updated throughout the course of the summit
protests with breaking news, information on arrests, prisoner support
and solidarity events.
The site features a number of resources
for activists. Most importantly, the Legal Group recommend that anyone
travelling to Scotland download and read the "Activists Guide to
Scottish Law and Police Powers" available in English and other
languages.
Other resources include:
• An online "Witness Statement" to complete if you have seen an arrest and can help to give evidence to help the defendant
• Information on the law related to Squatting in Scotland
• Updates on any Emergency Legislation or police powers that are rushed through by the Government in response to summit protests
•
Information or advice that the Legal Group can provide based on
monitoring the tactics of the police during the course of the protests
We
recommend that activists regularly return to the website for any
updates or changes in law, in the run up to the summit as well as
during the week of the protests themselves
If you have any questions for the Legal Support Group, you can contact us by email: g8legalsupport@riseup.net |
