[Free-sklyarov-uk] Protests

[Julian T. J. Midgley]

I have just received an email from the Planning Editor for ITN Radio, who
is keen to cover any protests we might hold this week.

Now that the EFF have held their meeting with the US Attorney, without
significant result, which should get back to the task of planning the
protests.

At the last count, there were 17 people subscribed to the free-sklyarov-uk
list - in the interests of ensuring as many people as possible are aware
of the protests, please could those currently subscribed encourage as many
sympathetic friends and acquaitances as possible to sign up.

In the meantime, we should progress with plans for the protest itself.

I take it that this Saturday (4 August) is the optimum date.  To allow
time for travel we should aim to kick-off between around 1200.

How many of you are able to make it?  Would it be a good idea to have a
sign/banner making party at some suitable venue earlier in the morning (or
the night before, if people think that appropriate)?

Is there anyone on the list who has held similar protests in the UK
before?  (I've not done it myself, and am wondering whether we need
to do anything such as arrange permits or notify the police, etc?)

It would be good to get some news coverage, and it's very nice to know
that we already have interest from one of the major news agencies.

Free Dmitry!

Ps.  I will try to drum up some more membership with a notice on the main
freesklyarov mailing list.
