UK: FRFI banned from Belmarsh. HMP Belmarsh has bbanned prisoners from receiving copies of Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism! on the grounds that it is a "racist" publication. This has occurred despite a recent Prisons Ombudsman ruling against such a ban at another jail, and in violation of the prisoners' rights under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Campaigners are asking that letters of protest be sent to the governor of the jail at: MMP Belmarsh, Western Way, Thamesmead, London SE28 OEB Fax: 0208 331 4401

Our work is only possible with your support.
