A DIFFERENT BAIL GAME

The six activists who shut down H&K’s UK depot two weeks ago (See SchNEWS 710) have had their bail applications turned down at their first hearing at the magistrate’s court. Their bail conditions (meted out by over-enthusiastic cops after the action) includes the condition of non-association (no meeting up, communicating, preparing a defence together) - pretty harsh treatment for peaceniks up on aggravated trespass charges.

As yet no pleas have been entered. Their case has been adjourned until March 17th.
