7PM IN THE DUKE OF YORK BAR (off Donegall Street)

Many people will now be aware that Padraigin Drinan, the committed human rights lawyer is being shut down by the Law Society.
A campaign has now been launched by some of us who are deeply deeply concerned about the actions of the Law Society. We aim to pull together those who are clients of the office and those who have worked with Padraigin over the years and more importantly those who are committed to the same rights and freedoms and principles that Padraigin has been defending for the last thirty odd years.
This decisision to close Padraigin's office is a disgrace and an indictment of a cowardly, vindictive body who have long had the knife out for the human rights solicitor.

Should you not be able to attend this meeting but would like to help the campaign then please send a reply email or alternatively phone Tracey on 07884074221 or Mark on 02890593225. Messages of support for Padraigin can also be sent via this e:mail (defendpadraigindrinan@yahoo.com) and we will ensure they are forwarded.
