Defend the Gaza Protesters

13th July, 9am, Royal Court of Justice, the Strand WC2A 2LL

Ten protesters arrested after demonstrating against the invasion of Gaza will appeal against their sentences on Tuesday 13 July. If successful, the appeals will impact on all of the cases and any future cases where the courts try to pass deterrent sentences.

Over 100 people were arrested last year after demonstrating against the Israeli invasion of Gaza. 78 were charged with violent disorder, and many were given deterrent sentences of up to two and a half years for as little as throwing a plastic bottle.

This police operation amounts to the persecution of protesters, which is made more alarming by the fact that almost all of those charged are very young and from Muslim backgrounds.

Join the picket to demand:

• The release of all those imprisoned.
• That all further charges are dropped.
• An end to the intimidation of the Muslim community.
• The right to protest for all.
