Third Ploughshares Activist sent to Prison this week
|
Ivor Birnie is the third Trident Ploughshares activist to be sent to jail this week.
Ivor was given seven days in Saughton Prison in Edinburgh for refusing to pay a fine of £180 imposed last year by JP Fraser Gillies for being part of a blockade of Faslane during Coulport camp in 2002. Ivor expects to be free tomorrow. He is due to serve four of the seven days and since prisons do not release at the weekend they should release him tomorrow since to keep him till Monday would amount to five days.
