Jock Palfreeman Demo Report

On Thursday 15th March, 3 Counties Anti-Fascist Alliance activists joined others at the Bulgarian Embassy in London, in a solidarity demo with Jock Palfreeman. Here’s a report and pictures from Leeds Anarchist Black Cross:

Over 30 people gathered outside the Bulgarian Embassy in London yesterday to show solidarity with Jock Palfreeman as part of an International Day of Action to highlight his situation. Jock is a young Australian lad who went to the aid of two Roma boys who were being attacked by a racist gang and who is now serving 20 years in a Bulgarian prison.

At yesterday’s London demo, banners were hung on the railings of the Bulgarian Embassy and pictures of Jock put on display. Hundreds of leaflets were given out during the 3 hour demo and a Bulgarian flag was also burned outside the Embassy.
