Nine anti-fascists acquitted at Welling trial<\/strong> [October 3, 2011: see Leeds ABC for more infos<\/a>]<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nine anti-fascist defendants were acquitted today, but six more remain in prison in need of support.<\/p>\n

The remaining nine defendants in the Welling anti fascist trial<\/a> were today* acquitted, with cheers and loud applause from the gallery. The defendants had been charged with conspiracy to commit violent disorder, after trying to attend a picket of a gig by neo-Nazi band Blood and Honour at the Duchess of Edinburgh pub[1] on 28th March 2009.<\/p>\n

A total of 22 anti-fascists were arrested following an incident at Welling train station where two known neo-Nazis who had arrived for the Blood and Honour gig were apprehended by activists, with one of the neo-Nazis injured<\/a>. Police were called to the scene, and as neither of the neo-Nazis were around to press charges of assault, the entire group, and anyone intending to picket the gig, were all charged with conspiracy to commit violent disorder.<\/p>\n

Today’s trial followed the conviction of seven other anti-fascists on 28th June 2011. Their trial lasted for 17 days, and sentences of 21 months were received. A further four anti-fascists were acquitted in June. Leeds Anarchist Black Cross have set up a support fund for the prisoners<\/a>, and the addresses of those in prison are as follows:<\/p>\n
