Abbey Wood February 2020 – Minutes

The walk was concluded at 13:30 at Belmarsh and supporters had the good luck to be rewarded by meeting Julian Assange’s father John Shipton on his way to visit Julian.
The Erith & Thamesmead CLP would like to express its concern over the treatment of Julian Assange in Belmarsh prison. We consider his imprisonment and the attempts to extradite him to the USA to be political in nature and not as a consequence of any criminal activity. In defence of the freedom of the press to report on the wrong doings of government and corporations we call on the Labour party to campaign for his release and to oppose his extradition
Thanks to these great people. I couldn’t get up in time and to be fair, on that day I thought there was going to be a snowstorm. Hardy bunch. All credit to them!!
