Dear All, During M1 in Melbourne, a scaled down but in many ways improved version of legal support provided at s11 will be available. A group of para-legal observers (in yellow vests) will observe, record and monitor arrests and actions by the Victoria police and private security, they can also provide you with some limited legal information. To obtain legal advice during the protest, particularly if you or someone else has been arrested a list of numbers of participating community legal centres will be provided on leaflets distributed over the next week and at M1. These legal centres will be able to provide legal advice and assistance, an after hours number will also be provided. The leaflet will also provide you with information on your legal rights. You have a right to protest and you have rights if you are arrested. You should exercise those rights. This information is now available at http://www.vicnet.net.au/~wsls/M1.htm Please create a link to this from your site or check it out and distribute the information. A downloadable PDF of the leaflet will also be available next week.
