George Bush will be coming to the UK for a state
visit 19th - 21st November 2003.
Resist Bush is an umbrella group of activists to help
individuals and groups make sure his UK visit is a truly
memorable one - not just for George, but for his host
Tony Blair.
APPEAL TO WITNESSES
This is an urgent appeal to anyone who witnessed
arrests during the Bush demonstrations in London on
19th, 20th or 21st of November.
If you witnessed an arrest being carried out during
any of the Bush protests please contact Resist Bush
at: resistbush@yahoo.co.uk
Your information may help someones case.
WERE YOU ARRESTED?
WERE YOU ARRESTED DURING THE BUSH DEMONSTRATIONS
IN LONDON AND DID NOT SPEAK TO A SOLICITOR?
Some activists arrested during the Bush protests were
told by the police that they would be released sooner
if they did not call a solicitor! The police were also
arresting, then 'de-arresting' protesters after removing
them from the area!
We want to get a true figure [as opposed to the
'official' police figures] as to how many arrests
were actually made.
If you were arrested, and did not contact a solicitor
or report the arrest to our Legal Support Line, please
contact us at resistbush@yahoo.co.uk.
We can also put you in contact with a solicitor who
can advise you if you are concerned about your arrest.
Wednesday 19th November - Resist Bush

ResistBush is calling for
a day of open mass non-violent civil disobedience
for the first day of Bush's visit. This will
be a space where all groups and individuals
can come to protest together in large numbers.
Please get the word out to as many people
as possible.
Resist Bush is also co-ordinating a mass sit-down
protest as part of the Tea Party on the 19th. This will
