From Slave Trade to Arms Trade
Bristol Against the Arms Trade (BAAT) presents: From the Slave Trade to the Arms Industry

2.00pm – Open Planning Meeting + speaker from CAAT

Letter from Em Sheppard – 26 December 2015
Please note it is important that this is not reposted after 30 December 2015 as this will be in breach of licencing conditions.
Letter from Em: In October my probation officer said I could go back to Bristol. Now it transpires I have been a MAPPA (multi-Agency Protection) for my whole sentence, though no one thought to tell me (I always thought it was strange I wasn’t). The police met in November about me and to draw up my licence conditions, but (as is common practice) have only told me now.
