Community Takes Action in Support of Florentine Activists,
Rejects Waste of Police Resources to Intimidate Tasmanians.
At least 11 people have been questioned by Tasmania Police over their attendance at two peaceful forest rallies in the Upper Florentine in January. A number have been charged with trespass, and one has been threatened with the charge of 'inciting trespass'.
Members of the Tasmanian community approached Still Wild Still Threatened offering their support to those being targeted. As a result, a public event has been planned this Sunday at Franklin Square, followed by a march to Police Headquarters in Liverpool St. Some community members who attended the rallies in the Upper Florentine will attempt to hand themselves in to Tasmania Police.
Speakers include Peter Mcquillan, Pete Hay, Natalie Keene, Warrick Jordan.
