I'm pleased ruled welcome back to world view show
Francis Jenkins now she was on the show last year I'm gonna referred
latest prisoner 2460 one with many apologies to Victor Hugo
she is all about 16 reported on last year's use kind enough to give us an
exclusive interview right after
rest protest fracking in West the West Sussex Community a
BALCO now she's since had her day in court before
revealed the result Francis welcome back to prove your
0 thanks for having me again s how you great to have you back here
now pressed a kiss back to the day the protests
and what actually happened to you on that day well
peacefully protesting next 20 and the peace
came and in sixteen people so
as basically the cracks in it and so i sat next to low
and two battalions case to doctor just told me half moon
a 0 end up getting we would be in big trouble
are no I mean I i someone jokingly refers you Sean Bell strongest prisoner
to 4601 from do to you
fame he got five years for stealing a loaf of bread and certainly years after
that because he tried to rob
but quite frankly up some other criminal charges that they were trying to bring
against the protesters
were almost as bad as that French Revolutions or justice
it when you went and several other members of that
that welcome 16 were there in Crown Court what was it you actually finished
well good at least as which I just knew it was dropped but said that
an initial charge was in the trade union hand neighboring nations back
1992 ebony and that's quite a Q&A session but I don't need that back in a
week at a base that was six months in prison
however they got charge in bed the chances with the lesser charge or
obstruction Highbridge without must not let you go
that was a thousand pounds by but still
it's still stressful to know that you might have to pay
thousand pounds and gold court at this now has trouble
from comic right I which is the
56 alors at least so it is
it's quite hoe do you also have to face you know the the legal expenses as well
or those picked up then by the court knows
well and know basically that getting upset because it means of charge
I wasn't keen can be blamed I'm or
hell from next year people will be able to claim your great aunt also I was
quite lucky
I am NOT respect I'm but
essentially your we are not be refunded travel to the court we have to find out
charms the coles
and stuff so we are going to get up back straightaway
a good day now so it will be good to have that backs
british chick Active Directory miles and so
France why is the government cracked down so *** protesters likes of
another's
well I I'm not sure really I mean I we have a right to protest since the
I'm European Court of Human Rights of goaltender 911
and however and that's how we were found not guilty
need because you have that the judge should shy with mushrooms that
with very many tickets into was very where is the
I had statute a that I had to go by
so it's like you said but I do not you know the concert past don't want to miss
Jojo Mayer
you might Saxons that much to the right-wing press
pregnancy %uh schools about human rights madness when
that usually referred him to you at your immigrants and the
you know what their it back terrace things that happens
your biceps it was bid to help every penny
not just you know the may be so cool Eagle fringes in societies say
help goes into resistance group needs when they need it
now you've mentioned that you were indeed found him not guilty so spoiler
alert we now know that
up tell us a little bit but that how trial
arm happened all the people that were involved
well I'm there is
I just wanna 11 people on trial I'm
although one didn't show I am but yes it was
quite packed courtroom and seems like a person
documenting the remainder herbicide hideout I wish that we had three by
resistance
and public that governs let the single day
and obscure prosecutor in seventeen behind him and
the judge it was a busy freeway every woman eso
and the reason is that quite to
cheat engine listen to resort is all in leguizamo
yes said and it lasted three days over in stock
it was tough on everybody I think so now I did see somebody it's urgent review
you
during I think it was the recess for lunch on the second day and
on you know you did look a little bit frazzled at that point are
went was it that you knew that this judge was going to rule in your favor
did you get any clues along the way with digis
happen at the end of the day well a more experienced in these masses
said know it's going well let's go home I really didn't think
there are no I didn't no i i didn't come until the very last second
you quite is quite and amusing judge actually
unity very clear about tickets he got to take his time with the basic utilities
as good as you know so
a right up until the end he said
yet I it is clear I have to be adequate yo
and he left it right so that last minute me and that it was like well
we've been acquitted is Mason said the good thing
that happens at the book judiciary on sites that's how to:
well you know and and that you have the judiciary on your side as well
as European Union law are
talk a little bit about the points a wall that we made in terms is why he had
surgery
was untouchable 10-11 up the human rights at what they do they go back and
look to Case No
so they go back and they say well this happened in this case since I think that
was not mention has
1980 already there was nothing to do with so bypass a no go back to another
case it
and you just lose track the old mentioning because they have to examine
the case though
but send sexually he took into account the fact that we all thought that the
road was closed we did it was Group Co signs and Ed
everybody was playing in the water the change in the mean and
the it was it was just bakewell but harding's
partially open some that way we can still be prosecuting crimes in a
me I'm and object in the Highway Code
think but I it's not like that
alright protest was a reasonable use the highway
and 10 and 11 they that he thought about
a coverage i think is my decision on the issue well
you know you you mention the children and speaking children you have small
children yourself so
your protest had real consequences why did you choose to protest at that
particular point in time in and do you can and you continue to serve you
I well IBM's you I am taking a step back from factory
rerouted because I do you make me feel than it's been in with
I'm you know my other commitments for example want my kids
that was when you the best integrate I'm but I'm obviously still competing
against
at you know I will speak out and stuff but there's no way I'm
I'm put myself on the front line and like that again exactly of
a post-election a you know it hasn't put me up separate
at my the chairman there we received was
I've bell you know it so the david and goliath
same I don't want to go through that again I I made you call on people to
many examine what happened that that process have not protests
look at anything and things like that it's not really hurt
you know a whole overdue China raise awareness about issues that will affect
the general public
were being cut down on very very harshly in
I just think that you know we're a stunt everybody
take a step back and look let's all talk about these things like that so many
politicians
let's sort this out before it's even last year and it's already got
so especially when you look at what's happening in Boston of your book a crime
