Kingsnorth: more arrests and the first few releases from custody

Posted by bex - 9 October 2007 at 5:21pm - Comments

Just a very short update from Kingsnorth:

The chimney crew are all down; they were arrested when they reached the bottom. The conveyor belt team were held overnight and most of them are still in police custody, although I've just heard that five of them have been released. We reckon the rest of the conveyor belt team will be released in the next few hours.

Thanks for following events - the latest step in our battle to stop the new coal rush in the UK. You can read all the updates from the past two days here, and please don't forget what this was all about: persuading Gordon Brown to say no to new coal.

Well done, Greenpeace! I thought you'd like to know I've highlighted your campaign and posted my own version of your letter to Gordon Brown on the front page ('Featured') of the newly-launched OneClimate.net (http://www.oneclimate.net/).
