| Chris and Martin with Sr Susan disarming AWE Aldermaston. |
Both Martin and Chris have a long history of direct action and public liturgy at places of violence. Both are likely to have ASBOs preventing them from going near to Westminster for ten years.
These ASBOs have particular implications because every citizen has a right to address her or his MP in Westminster.
Do you know of any similar ASBOs being handed out or attempted by the CPS?
*Crown Prosecution Service
seem to recal Lindis Percy at CAAB managed to get herself an ASBO so not a new tactic to use on activists im afraid.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve, I've just checked with ASBO Watch and Linis Percy's example (Leeds based peace activist who did peace studies in Bradford) is a good precedent against this sort of use of ASBOs.
