Helen John & Georgina Smith Jailed in Scotland for 
Resisting Trident!

They're in There For Us, We're on the Loose for 
Them!

As the war escalates and expands and our movement 
grows, more
resisters will be imprisoned. This can either be 
an experience of
great solidarity and empowerment or demoralisation 
and defeat. A lot
of it depends on us on the outside. Consider 
sending a postcard or
solidarity letter to the following prisoners......


This week anti-nuclear weapons /Trident 
Ploughshares resisters Helen
John (40 days) and Georgina Smith (45 days) jailed 
in Scotland for
resistance to the Trident submarine nuclear 
warfare system!

If they're well behaved (this is a big IF for 
these two!) they should
have a release date of March 2,  2008.

Solidarity mail can be sent to the individual 
prisoners

Court Report of Sentencing

We had 4 people from FPC and Bilston in Edinburgh 
for the court case
of Helen John and Georgina Smith (painting the 
High Court). The
Erskine bridge was closed and the traffic was just 
a nightmare, so we
just made before the sheriff sentenced them. 
Georgina was sentenced to
45 days in prison and Helen to 40 days plus £1500 
compensation each.

They will be held in Cornton Vale Prison 
Stirling.: " they argued
articulately and valiantly with an implacable 
Sheriff." "God help
Cornton Vale when they get there."
