The volunteer Charles Carrigan Cumann utterly condemn the premeditated arrest of 2 peaceful protesters at the Glasgow against Atos protest yesterday Friday 22nd Febuary.
The Strathclyde police had a clear agenda and it is the cumanns understanding that this was planned/premeditated, the 2 people who were arrested are prominent supporters of FRFI and there peaceful actions are deemed a "thorn in the side" by the police.
FRFI and ourselves were in the city supporting the discrimination against and fighting for the rights of the sick and disabled, the protest was a peaceful one as many of similar ones which have been held beforehand, the assault and arrest by Strathclyde Police was unjustified and worryingly it is seen to be a tactic adopted by police forces throughout the country when dealing with protesters who have the democratic right to do so.
The arrested members and members of the volunteer Charles Carrigan vow to continue the work started and will oppose and form of intimidation and harassment by the Strathclyde police.

Anyone who witnessed the arrests today, or the events before or after, please write down a witness statement, and any photos or videos you took. Send to glasgowdefence@yahoo.co.uk
The protest against ATOS continued after the arrests, and refused to be disrupted by Strathclyde police thugs, who continued to trail the remaining demonstrators to the HQ of the Commonwealth Games.
The real criminals - ATOS, the DWP, Glasgow Labour Council and the millionaire government - remain at large.
