Reports on his current court case that started September 7, 2010 and previous stories. Please sign our online petition asking for Fair Trials and Compensation instead of an effective remedy before national authorities - in defence of Maurice and many other victims of financial exploitation and legal oppression. Here's the newsletter that invited people to sign. And here are the first wonderful comments by signatories.

Breaking News:

October 2011: Maurice on hunger strike in HMP Cardiff. See http://bit.ly/qnyRUt Political asylum granted by France - to a British citizen - for the first time since the French Revolution... For first time visitors, a one-page summary is on a complementary and introductory blog. Also, Maurice on a 12-minute video in Jersey.
  • Who is afraid of British Police?

    In Nigeria, ordinary people, Parliament and Senate campaign to get the Musa family reunited, after Haringey Police kidnapped their six children - the youngest baby even in a hospital outside their borough. Lately, they also showed up in yet another borough where the Musas moved to. 

    Here, Bradford Police lured Norman Scarth out of his sheltered housing to arrest him and take his computer in his absence. 

    And in South Wales, Police are still refusing to return what they stole from Maurice, while ensuring that HMP Cardiff make everything as restrictive as possible for him:

    • today one of his supporters received a large envelope that contained eight opened envelopes, ready to be mailed: two to courts, one to a solicitor and five to supporters and Mckenzie Friends
    • Maurice continues to suffer from gut pain and continues to wait for proper medical attention
    • his hunger strike continues on a piece of fruit a day, "until he is taken seriously"
    • he listed his reasons for continuing here.

    Next Thursday, November 10th is scheduled for his hearing about his current charge: harassment of Dr Tegwyn Williams, who was paid by South Wales Police to commit him to a psychiatric clinic for life.Here's a short excerpt of his last of four reports.

    Now they are trying again, what Maurice calls the "Gulag card". But he also says that Caswell Clinic should rent a 36-seater bus for the staff to come to court as witnesses. 

     

  • £8 per week telephone money and £6.68 in the canteen

    You can't make it up:

    1. cash needs to be sent by postal orders made payable to HMP Governor but get cashed only once a month. To send £50 costs £6.20.
    2. Maurice phoned yesterday to say he has been allowed £8 per week on telephone calls
    3. he can spend £6.68 on stamps, paper and envelopes.

    Are there any human rights organisations that look into prison conditions?

    It seems that chaplains are our only source of possible support.

    But the Church of England wants to evict the campaigners from St. Paul's. So the Rule of Money will continue to overrule the Rule of Law...
