Free the "Fracking Three"
Release the three men who were imprisoned for legally protesting against fracking, and blocking Quadrilla vehicles from entering the site at Preston New Road, Blackpool.
Why is this important?
Lancashire voted against allowing fracking in their county, and the government undemocratically over-ruled this. Fracking is well known to have a seriously destructive impact upon the environment. The freedom to make a peaceful protest is something to be proud of in this country, and with these sentences, the judiciary have violated that right. Only by over-ruling the sentence can this basic human right be restored.
