Genoa Bust Fund

93 people were brutally attacked and arrested in their sleep after the demonstrations against the G8. This collection is on behalf of the five British people and one New Zealander living in Britain. They were held for four days in appalling conditions and then released without charge and a ruling that their arrests were illegal. They were then deported from Italy.

These are their expenses:

Fund to bring the police and whoever authorised their actions to justice
Air fare home 230 each
Phone bills of people helping them while in prison
Retrieving luggage
Money stolen by the police

If you can help by doing a whip round of friends please send donations to
