The Kernow Branch of the Celtic League continue to organise support
for their Treasurer who will answer his bail tomorrow (Tuesday 13th
May 2008) at Camborne police station.

Tony Leamon, who has now been on bail for 8 months, after his arrest
in September 2008 for obscure and unspecified reasons will answer
his bail at 0900 (BST) and will be the third time that he has been
requested to do so by Devon and Cornwall police. In an email to members
Mr Leamon said:

"I have been on bail now for over 8 months without charge. I am getting
to the stage where I WANT to be bloody charged! At least I would have
a timetable to work to then. Instead I have this endless waiting."

The Kernow Branch are planning to stage a peaceful protest outside
Camborne Police station tomorrow and have requested supporters to
phone Camborne police station via the central switchboard and/or write
an email asking after Mr Leamon's welfare. As reported previously
in Celtic news, when Mr Leamon answered bail on two previous occasions,
he was interrogated at length about a whole number of issues, including
taking photographs of English flags and the possession of history
books and Cornish language learning material.

Many of Tony's supporters from the USA and Australia have already
sent emails to Devon and Cornwall police and are also planning to
call tomorrow. Mr Leamon has requested that all calls are respectful
and polite:

"I might only be there a short time, but {contacting the police} will
make a point to them that I am not a lone voice."

Even though Mr Leamon has suffered severely with his health during
his bail, he said he is currently in "good spirits and looking forward
to Tuesday."
