Today seven animal rights activists appeared in court, in Sweden.

International Action needed

What we need to do is show them that by arresting and imprisoning fellow activists they have stirred up a hornet's nest. We need AR groups across the world to do demos, make phone calls and send emails to customers and suppliers of Huntingdon Life Sciences especially during the week of Sweden 7 Action week 26-30th September. We will not stand idly by whilst they keep our friends and colleagues in solitary confinement so please organise yourselves and your groups and mobilise in support of the Sweden 7. JUST DO IT!

All seven were arrested on the 15th of September 2005 during three SHAC protests in Gothenburg and Malmö. One of the companies targeted by the SHAC protests was the infamous Genetic Modification company Bayer (the same company who wrongly and falsely who accused British ELP volunteers of being part of the ELF).

Following their appearance in court today all seven activists have been remanded into custody. Five of the prisoners are Swedish, the other two are British. All welcome letters of support and therefore please send urgent letters to:
