"Urgent ELP! Bulletin (13th of February 2009)
Dear friends
ELP has just learnt that the SPEAK spokesperon, Mel Broughton, who has campaigned tirelessly against vivisection taking place at Oxford University, was today convicted of "conspiracy to commit arson" and sentenced to ten years imprisonment.
ELP regards the trial of Mel as an overt polictical act, which came around to try and silence this dedicated campaigner from taking part in a highly successful lawful campaign against Oxford University and its animal torture activities.
The New Labour Government has consistantly shown its contempt for animal rights campaigns and Mel is the latest victim in a long line of campaigners who have been jailed for apposing the vivisection industry, which the New Labour Government has committed itself to defending at all costs.
ELP fully supports Mel and we encourage everyone to send urgent letters of
support to:
Mel Broughton TN9138
