Asserting the 'right to sleep'.

Over 700 G8 protestors and innocent bystanders were detained or arrested last week in Scotland. A large number of them have been released with no charges after being held for days, often in isolation cells. Six prisoners on hunger strike released this week reveal that police deprived them of sleep for 73 hours, and at least one released prisoner was stripped of clothing as punishment for receiving a letter of support. A support group has called for a press conference, in front of the Sheriff’s Court, in Chamber Street, Edinburgh, at 2pm, on Wednesday, 13 July 2005.

During the protests against the G8 over 700 people were detained or arrested by the police, often overnight, and around 366 people have been arrested and charged. More information under: http://www.g8legalsupport.info
