Tamil Solidarity Campaign is pleased to hear that the verdict on the Jobstown trial is that the protesters were not guilty. This is a victory for the right to protest.
Protesters were charged with false imprisonment for protesting against water charges in Ireland. 23 people of Jobstown have been falsely accused of violent disorder and criminal damage. Paul Murphy TD (Irish MP and Former MEP) is one of those people. Paul Murphy has been a long standing supporter of Tamil Solidarity and the Tamil-speaking people’s struggle.
The Tamil Solidarity campaign has given full support to the Jobstown protesters in Ireland.
