Latest regarding Tony Leamon - Kernow's answer to Michael Collins

RECEIVED TODAY:

Comrades - please support and spread this news which has just arrived in my 'in basket'. The media and press in Cornwall are weak and with a few exceptions made up of second rate journalists who are afraid of making waves with the authorities and which are police controlled. For too long the police have breached human rights in Cornwall and have walked free. Evidence of that to be found at:
http://cornwall-police-watch.blogspot.com/ and http://www.pinkpasty.blogspot.com/ (the fascist colonial police in Cornwall are taking action against Mr Lidbury by veiled threat to have him remove his website - the truth is too much for them you see) which points out that they are above the law, any law !

To the police to whom this e-mail is copied:

This material is forwarded to you and your must retain it and disclose it including its inserts and internet links under the terms and provisions of the Criminal Procedures and Investigations Act (CPIA).
It MUST be forwarded to the officer in case and recorded on the appropriate schedule (MG6 C) and disclosed both to the Crown Prosecution Service and to the lawyer representing Mr Tony Leamon who has been subject of an injustice at the hands of the fascist and government directed colonial police who cover Cornwall in a most corrupt manner.

Thanks, Tam Graham

CELTIC LEAGUE - PRESS INFORMATIONBAIL DATE FOR LEAGUE MAN ON TERRORISM CHARGE

Celtic League campaigner and Kernow branch treasurer Tony Leamon,will be appearing for at Camborne police station this Wednesday (2ndJuly 2008) to answer his bail, almost 10 months after he was first arrested on 6th September 2007 on suspicion of terrorism.

To give support to other victims of the British state's over enthusiasticuse of anti terrorist legislation, Mr Leamon has made a short video film of himself, for the Celtic League, to rely some of his feelings of having been on police bail for this extended period of time.

As will be seen from the video footage, Mr Leamon is in good spirits and has kept his sense of humour throughout, despite a very low period earlier this year when the pressure of the ordeal drove him to make a suicide attempt. The Celtic League has been campaigning on Mr Leamon's behalf sincehis arrest and the arrest of other members of the Cornish cultural and political movement at the same time. Mr Leamon, along with all of the other people arrested, were perplexed as to why the police had picked on them as part of the police investigation into the Cornish National Liberation Army/Cornish Republican Army.

Needless to sayMr Leamon and the other people arrested all maintained their innocence and denied ever having taken part in any criminal activity in the furtherance of their beliefs. With no or little evidence to go on,the police had to release the other arrestees from their bail andnow it is only Mr Leamon who has been kept hanging on.Mr Leamon has been due to answer his bail on 3 separate occasions(not including his arrest), but each time, after lengthy periods of questioning, his bail has only been extended further. Now Mr Leamon is hoping that Wednesday will be the fourth and final time he will have to visit Camborne police station on this matter. The Kernow Branch of the League are planning to hold a protest outside Camborne police station on the afternoon of the 2nd July and are requesting that all his supporters who are able to attend the protest to turn up at just before 1500. Those who are unable to attend the protest are encouraged to phone the Devon and Cornwall Police central number on 0044 (0) 8452 777444 (remember to include the 0 if phoning from the UK) and ask to be put through to Camborne police station, regarding Tony Leamon, not forgetting to state where you are calling from. Alternatively,emails can be sent to mailto:Police.Enquiries%40devonandcornwall.pnn.police.uk with the same message of support. Supporters are requested to enquireafter Mr Leamon's welfare, who is registered disabled and has a debilitating disease. If Mr Leamon is bailed once again, he may have to forfeit attendance at the Celtic League's AGM - due to be held in Dublin on August 16th 2008 - in accordance with his bail restrictions. If this is the case or if Mr Leamon is charged, the League may hold a protest outsidethe British Embassy in Dublin on the weekend of the AGM.
