Charges of ‘illegal’ protest against Edinburgh activist dismissed
AN EDINBURGH activist charged with holding an “illegal” demonstration in solidarity with the people of Palestine had his case dismissed at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today.
Willie Black, a veteran of blacklisting in the construction industry in the 1970s and since, who now serves as joint secretary of Trades Unions Into Communities in the city’s Craigmillar estate, was arrested and bundled into a police van at a demonstration against the Gazan genocide on March 23 this year.
A sit-in by fellow campaigners won his release from the van on the day and now his charges have been dismissed.
