Trevor Monerville acquitted
artdoc July=1991

Trevor Monerville has been acquitted of obstruction and
assault charges after he was arrested while watching police
question suspects over a row that erupted in a Hackney pub
last October.
Trevor Monerville, has been acquitted of police charges
three times since his detention in Stoke Newington police
station and Brixton prison in 1987 left him with a blood
clot in his brain that had to be removed in an emergency
operation. A spokesman for the Hackney Community Defence
Association said `These arrests and trumped up charges
against Trevor Monerville now seem beyond the boundaries of
reason and one wonders when he will be allowed to go about
his life in peace.' (Caribbean Times 8.1.91)
