INSIDE SCHNEWS

Heather Nicholson, who was jailed for eleven years in the SHAC conspiracy to blackmail trial (See SchNEWS 661, 663), was moved without warning on Tuesday (7th), first to Eastwood Park in Gloucester, before then being transferred to HMP Foston Hall in Derbyshire. 

* Write to her at Heather Nicholson VM5859, HMP Foston Hall, Foston, Derby, Derbyshire DE65 5DN 

* Another imprisoned animal rights activist, Sean Kirtley, was this week granted leave to appeal against his conviction for “Interfering with the contractual relationships of a laboratory.” Sean is currently serving a four and a half year sentence for doing little more than running a website and attending demonstrations against Sequani labs (See SchNEWS 632). Judges ruled that it was arguable that the guilty plea of a co-defendant may have influenced the jury in the case. No date has yet been set.
