[From Mdx anti-cuts group:]

There are 7 weeks until Alfie’s trial. Join the call for the charges to be dropped NOW. Alfie nearly died after being struck with a police baton during the 2010 anti-fees protest. He should not be facing prison.

1. Sign the petition calling for the charges against Alfie to be dropped and circulate it as widely as possible.
