SEND A SOLIDARITY LETTER or postcard to Anti-War Resister Chris Cole in H.M.P. Wandsworth!

category international | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Tuesday January 25, 2011 06:45author by Ciaron O'Reilly - Giuseppe Conlon House/ London Catholic Worker Report this post to the editors

He's in there for us, We're on the loose for him!

Chris Cole
Prisoner Number: A81 47 AZ
HMP Wandsworth
Heathfield Rd.
London
SW18 3HS
ENGLAND

Last Wednesday I accompanied Chris Cole, Catholic Worker/ plowshares activist/ father of 3, to Westminister Court on Horsferry Rd. in central London. This magistrate's court had been the site of December's Julian Assange (denial of) bail hearings. This time the word's media were not assembled to witness nonviolent anti-war resistance. One of the security guys on the metal detectors recognised me from previous weeks giving speeches outside his window pane, seemed happy to see me!

As it is with these places it's all "hurry up and wait" as we were sent upstairs and then sent downstairs and then sent upstairs again...before the police officer from downstairs came upstairs and took Chris into custody.

When I left Chris he was in good spirits, later that afternoon he was sentenced to 28 daze. For the past week he has been unable to make contact with his family (no phone call) from within HMP Wandsworth. Last Wednesday, I text Belfast @ Seamus residing on the southside of London and he got up to visit Chris on his first morning in custody...due to this new thang they got where first 30 folks who turn up can get a visit with a prisoner brought in the previous day!

Chris's present imprisonment follows 18 months of numerous court letters, bailiffs threats visits and his steadfast refusal to pay the fine.

BACKGROUND ON CHRIS'S 2009 RESISTANCE ACTION TO THE ARMS TRADE

CCTV footage (2 mins 27 secs) of Chris's nonviolent resistance at the opening conference at the Queen Elizabeth II of "Defence and Security Equipment International (Dsei) 2009 Arms Fair"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azHNNesrePw

With spray can in hand Chris went to the conference centre just before the event and sprayed ‘build peace not war machines’ ‘stop this bloody business’ and ‘arms trade=death’ on the front entrance and poured fake blood over the steps. He was shortly convicted of criminal damage and fined just under £2,000.
