Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8I was Freed on Bail today from Cloverhill, I was one of the lucky ones thats got out without having to go to the High Court. It still remains to be seen why durg dealers etc were given bail and not some of us? I dont want to say much more yet before i get legal advice.
(by the way lads the girlfriend isnt pregnent, thank god)
overturn of refusal of bail for the three arrested last week is it?
or have those refused bail today been allowed out ? don't think so but headline is confusing
As I understand it all bar one of the people charged in relation to the May Day weekend has now been granted bail. That includes the 12 refused bail in the District Court, who were later granted bail in the High Court.
This does not mean that everyone is necessary free, in that bail money still has to be organised and successfully lodged, something which was frustrated over the weekend for people granted bail on Saturday night's special sitting but who could not be freed until Tuesday.
The one person who has not been granted bail is a woman who remains in Mountjoy women's wing. The women's bail hearings were held separately at the Bridewell yesterday morning. 2 women were granted bail, a third already had consent to bail and a fourth was remanded in custody.
I don't really know more details about this fourth case as I was at the Cloverhill court but I understand the legal team are working on this final case.
Legal support needs to set a time (next week) and a place for a meeting of those arrested, pro-active support ers wishing to offer solidarity and legal advice (lawyers).
A similar meeting that was held after the May Day 2002 was helpful in breaking down isolation. Also a bank account where folks can donate needs to be nominated (when 3000 folks gathered in response to 2002 beatings - thanx to some pre-electoral opportunism) the bucket wasn't even passed!!
Hopefully in weeks to come there will be some indymedia retrospective/reflection/photo exhibition/discussion where financial support for defendants can be made (amongst support for other elements of the movement eg. indymedia).
The initial denial of bail was a misuse of the law (eg the banning from Clare of anti-war resisters, the BAe high court injunctions that gave Chris Cole in jail 6 months for writing a leaflet and my good self and 12 others vulnerable to 2 years max for initement and 4 ofg us £100,000 legal debt/court costs...check out the Guardian for latest BAe Saudi slush funds corruption!!)

Rory gets wheeled back into the Henrietta street clock as the other door opens and Joe gets wheeled out.
The Major has to wonder what is the purpose of calling a 'benefit gig' at 6 hours notice?
and who gets the money ?
