Sheridan held overnight, appears Glasgow Sheriff Court Tuesday

Glasgow Scottish Socialist Party MSP Tommy Sheridan has been held overnight
at Helen Street police station and will appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on
Tuesday 22nd November alongside two other campaigners against the Home
Office dawn raids to deport asylum seekers.
Sheridan was arrested on Monday morning after a successful direct action
prevented Home Office immigration officials and police from leaving the
Brand Street offices where the dawn raids are launched from.

Following the arrest and detention of Tommy Sheridan and others, there will
be a protest at the Glasgow Sheriff Court. However, please note that the
time for the protest outside the Sheriff Court today (Tuesday) has been
changed to 1.30 pm.
