Newham Socialist Labour express their outrage at the midnight arrests on trumped-up charges of our comrades Carel Buxton, Dave Buxton and Trish O’Hara, following a protest by local residents against the cuts budget imposed by corrupt majority of councillors at Newham town hall. We are especially outraged at the slanderous accusation against them of “anti-Semitic heckling”. These comrades are lifelong socialists and anti-racist campaigners. We demand their immediate release and the withdrawal of all charges against them.
