[imc-scotland-discussion] Fwd: URGENT: court support for 5 clowns wrongfully arrested! (Wed 16th)

[Anarcho Babe]

Hia Jon and others,

probably can't make it, but agree that the police harassment seems to have 
increased quite a lot over the last months compared to what is the usual 
level in Edinburgh and Scotland general.

Would be good to have a feature on this especially summarising all incidents 
like the early morning detentions and recruiting paid informers has not been 
reported yet on the newswire. 

Well done features by the way!
