Pensioner Protester Released from Prison

The motion

That the Parliament applauds the release of 81-year-old Georgina Smith from Cornton Vale prison; notes her anti-Trident protest at Edinburgh’s High Court on Remembrance Day 2006; commends what it sees as her valiant efforts to stop the use of nuclear weapons and to rid Scotland and the world of their potential destruction and genocide; praises Georgina’s willingness to stand against Trident and protest what is considered the unlawful detention of hundreds of protesters for 30 hours without charge for taking part in Faslane 365, and acclaims her 10 days in prison and her refusal to pay the £1,500 fine, having been released only following the anonymous payment of the fine.
