Open letter, due to safety issues involved with delivering letters to New Scotland Yard (ie henchmen in uniforms with guns arresting peaceful people armed with… …letters!).www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/07/345451.html

On behalf of Mr Brian W Haw, Parliament Square Peace Campaign, to commissioner:-
Today, 5th October 2007, I hereby serve upon you a copy of an application made under section 59(2) Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001, at Southwark Crown Court relating to Mr Brian Haw & Co.’s property stolen by you/your henchmen on 23rd May 2006.

I remind you that you are now required, within 7 days, to (a) notify Mr Haw and the Court officer whether you are making representations and appearing at the hearing; and (b) if you wish to make representations, a WRITTEN (I understand you have problems with reducing things to writing - ie authorisations under SOCPA) statement setting out such representations.

Steven Jago,
for and on behalf of Mr Brian W Haw.

To public:

Brian Haw & Co. would like to re-assure members of the public that protest around Parliament is in fact - not banned - yet - and visitors to the 24/7 “As Long As It Takes” Parliament Square Peace Campaign this Monday, 8th October 2007 are very welcome to see the new banner display before the old one is restored to its former home.

Both Brian and the Burmese protests are continuing on Monday as normal, so you can see both displays while visiting. You will of course also be able to see Mayor ken livingstone’s illegal barriers in Parliament Square - an attempt to severely curtail peaceful campaigning.

UK Indymedia - SOCPA - brian haw’s full display rises like a pheonix

next monday at horseferry road, judge purdy hands down his decision whether brian haw has a case to answer for alleged breach of socpa conditions that led to a night-time police raid by 78 officers in may 2006 cutting his display from more than forty metres down to a mere three. in the meantime, artist mark wallinger has been busy recreating the whole display and his exhibition entitled ’state britain’ opened this morning at tate britain, on the very edge of the socpa zone.

The original Indymedia post includes some excellent photos of the exhibition and some fascinating background information that’s yet another demonstration of the bias of the mainstream media.
The exhibition is running till August this year and entry’s free!
