On 21st
May there were polkce raids on various animal rights organisations in
Austria. One of those arrested, Dr Martin Balluch
was on hunger strike and was force fed. They also held, amongst
others, the head of the Vegan Society. There is not one shred of
evidence against these people and it's clear that VGT (against animal
factories) has been targeted as they were in the process of getting
animals included in the Austrian constitution. They have also been
very successful in getting battery eggs and fur banned in
Austria. Well, clearly just a little too successful for big
business. All those held have now been released but so far none
of them have been cleared of any suspicion. There have recently
been more raids. Click on the link above and keep updated on events.
The trial of Mel Broughton
from the SPEAK campaign starts on 20th October at Oxford Crown
Court. It is clear that the police have been 'out to get him'
and some of the evidence appears to be in dispute. Keep up to
date with the campaign and the trail by going to the SPEAK website www.speak.org
The SHAC trail is running at
Winchester Crown Court and is expected to last several more weeks (at
least). Go to www.shac.net to
keep up with the campaign
