>Welcome to the September 2001 edition of the ELP Newsletter.  ELP was
>recently asked "what is the best way to support a prisoner?"  Our
>answer is
>always "send them a letter".  Even if you are not the world's greatest
>letter writer and just send a postcard with a few lines on it, the
>fact you
>wrote will be appreciated.  Mail time is the best part of a
>prisoner's day.
>Craig Marshall recently told ELP  "The letters I get as a result of
>your
>Newsletter bring a bit of light to my day every time I get one".
>Help make
>the prisoners days by sending them a letter.  Remember, no matter how
>long
>they are serving, they all deserve our support.

>According to the Danish media, in May 2001 the Institute of Genetics &
>Ecology also known as the Institute of Microbial Biology based in the

>claimed responsibility for the arson.  The "ELF" have also sent
>threatening
>letters to select people including Government members stating that
>their
>action was "based on a religious background, and that they will
>continue
>until the 'historic mistake' ends". The "ELF" said they saw the work
>of the
>lab as being "manipulating with nature, and consider themselves as

>The Anarchist Black Cross (ABC) is an international network of anarchist
groups and individuals, which work in practical solidarity with prisoners.
We support: anarchists, revolutionaries and others, who have been imprisoned
because of their resistance against those in power and their system. We
support persons, who have been arrested because they tried to survive or
people who got arrested by the police. We support and make public the
strives of prisoners behind bars, fighting against the system. Moreover we
also support prisoners, who have been politicised through their
imprisonment, and who had not to go to prison initially because of a
political activity or idea.
