Why this petition matters

Started by Kenmure Street3

We are three people who were violently arrested during the mass community resistance to a home office raid on Kenmure Street, Glasgow, last year. 

Despite the Scottish government condemning the raid, in February we found out that the state intends to prosecute us. Our trials are scheduled for the 3rd and 4th August 2022. ****UPDATE Our trials have been adjourned until the 7th, 17th and 18th October 2022. We appreciate your continued support.****

The police want you to believe that they were somehow there to facilitate the protest; they were not. They were there to enable the kidnapping of two men by the racist home office. While resisting this alongside thousands of others, we were brutalised, locked up, and are now facing a repressive and distressing court process. We should not have to go through this. 

Please help us by signing and sharing this petition demanding that our charges are dropped now.

Three more things you can do to support us:

- Write to your MP to demand that our charges are dropped - please feel free to use this template letter.

- Get in touch with us if you witnessed or have footage of our arrests, via our email, kenmurestreet3@gmail.com. This could help our defence.

- Come and support us outside the court when we go to trial.
