On Saturday patriots and defenders of traditional British values gathered outside a jail in Hull to demand freedom for political prisoner Sam Melia.
On March 1st this year, Sam was given a two year jail sentence for the ‘crime’ of distributing political stickers, which prosecutors deemed “distributing material intending to stir up racial hatred”.
For some reason police and prosecutors chose to highlight that Sam and his wife Laura had a book by Oswald Mosley and a poster of Adolf Hitler at their home. Neither of these are illegal under English law.
The authorities have deemed Sam to be a particularly dangerous political prisoner, so they have not allowed him to be released on the usual ‘electronic tag’ bail system, as would normally have been expected next month. Sam’s release on bail now seems likely in mid-December.
Yesterday’s rally was addressed by Sam’s wife Laura, his father Phil, and their comrades Mark Collett, Ian Holloway, and Matt Darrington.
Sam and Laura’s second child was born during his imprisonment. We are sure this will be a very special Christmas for the Melia family and that they will continue their political struggle, undaunted by the British state’s repressive measures.
