Legal Support

Make sure that everyone in your group has filled in a legal support form and has a Bust Card ― including those that are not planning to risk arrest. These will be available at the Glasgow venues, on the buses and at the gates of Faslane. If you are coming directly to the base you can download them from the website at www.faslane365.org/1oct/legal or contact us and we will e-mail or post you a form to copy. Please hand the completed forms in to the registration tables at Glasgow venues or Faslane.

We will co-ordinate Legal Support centrally. We will collect all the legal support forms and track people who have been arrested including confirming addresses to the police. We will find out which police stations people are being held in, when they are due to be released and will co-ordinate lifts to get them back to a Anderston Kelvingrove Church in Glasgow (directions).
Each affinity group should have their own legal observers whose main role is getting the names of people being arrested. They can also note down:

• Is a warning given? Who by? At what time?
• Are people being cut out of lock-ons? Who by? How long does it take? Are the police being careful?
• Is there traffic actually present which is being stopped? Is it just base traffic or is there local traffic also held up? Can through traffic get past?

When the arrests from your group have finished give a list of the names to the Legal support co-ordinator (wearing a tabard) at your gate. (or if for some reason this is not possible phone them in yourself)

The legal support office will track people and during the evening there will be information available at Anderston Kelvingrove about which police stations people are being held at.

We will co-ordinate minibuses to pick people up from police stations and bring them to Anderston Kelvingrove. If you are coming up by minibus please consider having an extra driver so you can help with pick-ups (and let us know in advance if you can). If you are coming and want to help with a support role and could drive a minibus please get in touch.
