Anti-Atos protester faces trial over megaphone use
Demonstrators return to the steps of Glasgow Sheriff Court

Demonstrators returned to the steps of Glasgow Sheriff Court yesterday to champion an anti-Atos activist facing trial for simply using a megaphone.

"Defend the right to protest" rang out across the rain-drenched plaza as supporters with the Glasgow Defence Campaign rallied behind student demonstrator Dominic O'Hara.

Revolutionary Communist Group member Mr O'Hara was arrested at a protest last February against welfare contractor Atos after police ordered him to stop using a megaphone.
