Support Barbara in Court - victimised over Scottish census
       Barbara Dowling is being charged under the Census Act, accused of not filling in her census form properly. Her intermediate diet was held on Tue 10 January and her case is going ahead to trial. Barbara will be defending herself. The trial will be at 10am in Court 16, Glasgow Sheriff Court Thursday 26 January (not 16 January, as stated in an earlier email).
      Countless Scots have either failed to fill in their census forms or returned them partially completed or improved by critical comments, but have not been prosecuted. Barbara's victimisation is inexplicable. Please make a date in your diary to come along and support her. And please tell your friends.
      Barbara will also be in court on 25 Jan over non-payment of a fine incurred for blockading Faslane nuclear submarine base. Barbara is refusing to pay the fine and risks a jail sentence:

  1. Looks like the 'authorities' want to nail Barbara, as an anti-nuke activist. I think a good defense would be refusal to have any association with a company knowingly involved in torture. You can download an anti-census poster at my site.
