Please support our comrade Dan at his trial tomorrow, from 9.30am at Stratford Magistrates’ Court. Outrageously, the CPS has not yet dropped the case against Dan (an obstruction charge), for his principled protest against the DSEI arms fair. Even though we were arrested and charged at the same time as Dan (some of us even shared a police van with him), and even though we took a private criminal prosecution against some of the criminals inside DSEI – Magforce International and Tianjin Myway International.
Does this sound like the actions of authorities who claim to uphold human rights across the world? It’s grosteque hypocrisy from our Government.

Unfortunately Dan Ashman was convicted of obstruction of the highway and ordered to pay over £300 costs.
