UK: Prisoner Support Now A Threat To National Security + Update On Toby Shone’s Situation

Update On Toby Shone’s Situation

27/06/24

Yesterday (19/06/24) Toby was issued with an administrative sanction as a direct result of his “bad attitude” and conveying open letters and audio interventions outside of the prison. This comes after several anarchist comrades were removed from his permitted contact list with the reason being a “threat to national security”. This sanction will reduce the number of visits he can receive as well as reducing the amount of money he can spend on phone calls and groceries. Toby was able to receive a few letters and postcards recently, but he is still facing an enhanced censorship on his correspondence and post. Toby wishes to express that he is well and sends an embrace of fire to all the other imprisoned comrades and to the action groups.

Prisoner Support Now A Threat To National Security

28/05/24

Brighton ABC has now become the third victim of a banning of all contact with Toby Shone on the supposed grounds of “National Security” [sic]. This is just another facet of the on-going campaign to isolate Toby, cutting off his contacts with his support network and the wider outside world. People have been arbitrarily removed from his PIN phone list, had their mail censored or simply withheld as part of the vindictive campaign against Toby on the part of the security services in retaliation for their inability to secure a conviction on the trumped-up terrorism charges that were hastily dropped by the prosecution days before he was due to stand trial on October 6, 2021.

He continues to be persecuted as a direct result of the political views that he holds and at his upcoming parole hearing the State will make a further attempts to restrict his political activities post-release by having highly prohibitive license conditions imposed on him, this despite his having not been convicted on any of the political charges that he was originally charged with.

It is advisable to send any mail via recorded delivery so that you can have a record that it was received by Garth in case it somehow gets mysterious “lost”.

If you have sent him mail previously and had no response – Toby always replies to any mail he receives – it is likely that it too has been withheld from him. If so, please get in touch with with his legal team by emailing your evidence to: j.bicket@birnbergpeirce.co.uk.
