Socialists across the UK and beyond have come together to launch a campaign and website in support of victimised Solidarity Convenor Tommy Sheridan. Tommy Sheridan and his family have been subjected to an unprecedented campaign from the Crown Office and Lothian and Borders Police culminating in the outrageous scenes on Sunday when his wife and 2 year-old child were put through a horrendous ordeal in their home, at the hands of 9 police officers over seven hours.
RESPECT MP George Galloway, RMT leader Bob Crow, Socialist Party Councillor Dave Nellist, PCS President Janice Goodrich have been joined by Gerry Conlon and Paddy Hill in condeming the attack on Tommy. George Galloway said: "Tommy’s real crime in the eyes of News International is that he has spent his entire political life speaking truth to power." Gerry Conlon of the Guildford 4 said: "The press play a huge role in the conviction of innocent people, our only strength is to stick together, solidarity for Tommy." Paddy Hill, Birmngham 6 and founder of MOJO added: "they couldn't spell justice never mind dispense it, they are rotten" Full details of how to support the campiagn at www.defendtommysheridan.org
