news report
Sunday March 28, 2010 15:29 by FSB! - Shell to Sea
50 days and counting into his Shell-imposed imprisonment, Shell to Sea shows support for their hero and friend After a week when nearly all the court cases against Shell to Sea campaigners were defeated, withdrawn or thrown out, over a hundred opponents of the Great Oil & Gas Robbery from all around the country gathered outside the gates of Castlerea Prison this Saturday afternoon to protest the continuing imprisonment of their good friend and Shell to Sea colleague Pat O'Donnell. As the bright Spring afternoon in Castlerea turned to early evening, Pat's supporters gathered at the entrance to the prison with an array of very colourful banners. The court victories of the previous week contributed to the optimistic spirit that animated the growing crowd. Many motorists on their weekend business beeped their support for the protest as they passed the prison gates. After nearly an hour of friendly chat, catching up with news and waiting for latecomers, the event proper got underway soon after 4p.m.
