Tuesday 23 May 2006: BRIAN'S DISPLAY REMOVED BY POLICE - JOIN HIM TODAY


Freedom of Expression Over Political Repression

Brian's display was removed in a night time operation with 50 police  officers. At 2.45 this morning they turned up and started to load a  container with all the placards and banners and almost all of Brian's  personal possessions. Stuff belonging to supporters who have been down  in Parliament Square with him were also taken.

Brian has now got only one or two placards and a few personal  possessions that he managed to retain.

3 of Brian's supporters have been arrested - Maria, Barbara and Martin.  They are being held at Charing Cross Police Station.

Brian and supporters are still in the Square and there has been no  attempt to move them.

This police action has pre-empted a court hearing on 30 May to which Brian was summonsed to attend relating to the conditions which the police placed on his protest.

SOLIDARITY NEEDED TODAY IN PARLIAMENT SQUARE AND AT CHARING CROSS POLICE STATION

If you can get down to the Square now or later today, please come along.

Also people are needed to go to Charing Cross Police Station to support those inside.
