More news from across at the Celtic League about Tony Leamon:
CORNISH BRANCH MEMBERS PLIGHT GETS INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION
The plight of Celtic League campaigner Tony Leamon was highlighted last night on a three hour weekly radio broadcast from Taos, New Mexico, USA. The program, dedicated to Tony Leamon, was devoted to Kernow and focused on the legends, language and people of Kernow,including the injustice being suffered by Mr Leamon.
Mr Leamon, who was due to answer bail last Tuesday, was informed byDevon and Cornwall police on the day that his bail would be delayed until July 2nd 2008. The psychological strain that the Devon and Cornwall police have been putting on Mr Leamon, who has suffered severe emotional distress from his ordeal throughout the last 8 months, has been drawing sympathy for his cause from around the globe.Support from across the USA, Australia, Spain, Malaysia and the Celtic countries has been growing on a weekly basis. At this weekend's Annual Rio Grande Valley Celtic Festival and Highland Games in Albuquerque,New Mexico, USA visitors will be able to read a leaflet about Mr Leamon's plight being distributed at the Cornish stall.
In addition, visitorswill be able to sign up to the distribution list to be kept updated about Mr Leamon's case.
As one of the festival's organisers and CelticLeague member told the Kernow Branch this week:"{Tony's} case is one that has gathered support world wide".Relevant links to earlier items on Celtic News at:http://groups.yahoo.com/group/celtic_league/message/2607http://groups.yahoo.com/group/celtic_league/message/2544http://groups.yahoo.com/group/celtic_league/message/2280http://groups.yahoo.com/group/celtic_league/message/2450http://groups.yahoo.com/group/celtic_league/message/2451http://groups.yahoo.com/group/celtic_league/message/2478http://groups.yahoo.com/group/celtic_league/message/2537http://groups.yahoo.com/group/celtic_league/message/2541

Tony Leamon gains world wide support
This incredible piece of poetry has been penned by a Welsh supporter of Tony Leamon.
Celtic brotherhood will overcome any Imperial or Colonial System !

DEDICATED TO TONY FROM A SUPPORTER IN WALES
There's a man I'd like to meet, Tony Leamon is his name
He's the one in Kernow the Colonial Police want to frame
A very brave Cornishman he is, as Celtic as me and you
And although much persecuted, the views he holds are true
This great big generous Falmouth boy travels everywhere on a bus
He's the Cornish terrorist you know, the one they want to bust
He's read a John Angarrack book, you see, this but one of his crimes
And for that the foreign Chief of Police wants the man to do his time
He dares to fly many St. Piran's flags in his homeland too
And through English eyes this makes him a criminal right through
His father's an old war vet, with English medals cross his chest
But now this counts for nothing, for being Cornish is second best
He speaks the Cornish Language, another very suspicious sign
The way things are going, they'll make it a fixed penalty fine
He uses the email system, mobile phones and the internet
Most odd for a Cornish lad who they assume weak of head
So when the armoured and armed Colonial boys on his door did beat
Little did poor old Tony know, he'd be off for the custody suite
They refused to call him Cornish, West Country was their best
And through hours of interrogation, he failed to pass their test
There's no such thing as Cornish and you're a criminal they implied
And those who've told you otherwise have spoken naught but lies
And although he fights with cancer, and battles with the pain
Tony Leamon's a man of Celtic steel, not for him to be lame
And from all around the whole wide world, from both far and near
Came message of support, offers of cash, and greetings of good cheer
For this honest Celtic lad, the Colonial Police can't just let him be
Born a Cornishman his only crime to be an activist and to disagree
Celtic brotherhood will overcome any Imperial or Colonial System !

TONY LEAMON - Cornish Campaigner 'tortured' by Police
This is very much a story in progress. A source from the USA who is a Celtic Campaigner has contacted us with news about a Cornish Campaigner called Tony Leamon who is from Falmouth, Kernow.
Apparently, this man was arrested followed a house raid by the police force which covers Kernow and which is run from across the border and into England. The arrest occurred last September, 2007 and the police caused much distress to Mr Leamon's elderly family in trashing his house and seizing goods.
Now eight months on, the police still have him on restrictive bail without charge.
We all know that members of the English Imperial State like to cause as much distress as possible and this is a classic example.
All Celtic peoples' thoughts will be with Tony Leamon right now.
