Organisers of the campaign set up to defend Tommy Sheridan against a political witch-hunt have called on supporters to rally outside of the High Court when Sheridan and his partner Gail appear at a preliminary hearing. Jim Monaghan, spokesperson for the Defend Tommy Sheridan Campaign, said:
"we are calling on supporters of the campaign, and others with an interest in justice, to come to the court to show their support for Tommy and Gail. Politicians who claim expenses fraudulently are seemingly immune from the law, yet Tommy is singled out for a massive investigation that is going nowhere. From the start, this case has been a political witch hunt."
The hearing takes place on Monday 13 July at 10.00am at Edinburgh's High Court. |

DTS Press Release 12th Feb 2009 |
Following the revelations published in respected legal magazine "The Firm", The Defend Tommy Sheridan campaign calls on the Justice Minister to seek answers from the Lord Advocate. According the magazine's "exclusive", the Crown Office came under "incredible pressure" from Police to proceed with a court case they didnt have confidence in.
The article in the Firm is very serious and questions the independence of the Crown Office. Lothian and Borders Police are obviously very serious about taking this case despite it's weaknesses and are willing to change protocol and procedures to get their way.
The Crown Office MUST step up and stand them down in the interests of justice.
Defend Tommy Sheridan Spokesperson, Jim Monaghan said:
"The Police have not been objective in this from the start, in my opinion. The personal and vindictive teatment of Gail Sheridan in particular has shown how zealous they are in this issue. We cannot have the tail wagging the dog on matters of jutsice and we are calling on the Justice Minister to launch an inquiry."
