TO ALL GROUPS FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE AND TRUTH IN THE LEGAL SYSTEM, FREEDOM OF SPEECH, AND HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE UK
SPREAD THE WORD TODAY - URGENT
FREE NORMAN SCARTH DEMONSTRATION
ALL HANDS ON DECK REQUIRED TO SUPPORT THE RELEASE OF WWII NAVY VETERAN, AND POLITICAL PRISONER, NORMAN SCARTH
There will be peaceful and lawful demonstration and rally in support of decorated Arctic Convoy World War II veteran, 85 year old Norman Scarth. Norman was imprisoned for six months on July 26th 2011 for making a recording of a court hearing. Norman’s barrister apologised on Norman’s behalf when Norman returned to court, but he was sentenced to an excessive six months in a prison for serious offenders, regardless. He has been denied his medications, and is in solitary confinement. He has no access to pens and paper, and any stamps that people have sent him are being stolen by the staff. His unable to sit up in bed because the bunk above him is so close to his face that it is not possible. He has no reading material, and no one to talk to.
He has been told that either he walks for a full hour or not at all. He is unable to walk for a full hour – he is an 85 year old man with health problems. He is cold at night and sleeps in his clothing.
We feel the sentence is excessive, cruel, and inhumane for an almost 86 year old man with health problems, who has been fighting for our freedom, not only during World War II, when his heroic acts helped keep Britain free, but on a regular daily basis for many, many years, with his efforts to bring truth, justice, and transparency into the UK Courts and legal system and to highlight the corruption.
It is a serious human rights issue, and it is taking place in Her Majesty’s prison.
Leeds Prison is a prison for serious offenders. Whereas, once, the demographics of this prison were predominantly that of serious offenders in their 30s, the population is now dominated by senior citizens. Who is sending them there? In Norman’s case, it was Judge Jonathan Rose, Bradford Combined Courts, Yorkshire.
Norman has been fighting for our freedom and now we have to fight for his! It is imperative that there is a massive turn out!
