2 prisoners remain.

One in Edinburgh awaits trial for breech of the peace arising from events on July 4th.
[update: changed plea to guilty on July 26th and was sentenced]
One is in Barlinnie (Glasgow) is on remand as 'procurator fiscal' opposed bail when he appeared in court 'on petition'.
He had been arrested for Breach of the
Peace and released on bail with the condition that he leave the Stirling
area. When he packed up and tried to leave the Stirling campsite he was
arrested by the police outside the camp for breach of bail because he had
not left immediately. At that point the name he gave was different to the
name he had been given bail in. He was then arrested and taken to court in
Stirling for Perverting the Course of Justice.
He is still under investigation and the final wording of the complaint
has not been finalised by the 'procurator fiscal'. There is nothing to
plead to yet. Within 80 days of being sent to prison one must be served
with the indictment and the trial must start within 140 days.
A solicitor can ask the Crown to agree to an 'accelerated diet' so that a
client can plead guilty. Which means calling it earlier but this can still
take three or four weeks.
In meantime appeal to the High Court in Edinburgh takes place on Friday 22nd July 2005
