THE CAMPAIGN against the Criminal Justice Act is alive and kicking in Manchester.
The first people to be charged under the new law were activists from Earth First, who occupied a crane in Manchester as a protest against Laing’s involvement in the M65 development and against the Act itself.
At the court case a crowd of 80 people turned up to support the Laing Four. There are further court cases to be heard on July 3 in connection with the crane occupation.
Manchester Freedom Network is arranging funds to pay legal costs, and meets on the second and fourth Monday of each month.
