The following statement has now been endorsed through consensus by Occupy London:
On Monday 18th June a two year ASBO was imposed on Simon Moore, our friend and fellow protestor at Leyton Marsh.
Like us, Simon believed that what was happening on Leyton Marsh was wrong and needed to be resisted peacefully.
Like us, Simon did not want to see a beautiful habitat and recreational space enclosed, contaminated and destroyed for a wasteful temporary facility for the Olympics.
Like us, Simon was prepared to show his opposition to this destructive land grab.
Like us, he was intimidated with the full force of the law and criminalised.
Like Simon, we do not wish to stop speaking the truth about legitimate issues around the Olympics such as environmental destruction and suspension of our human rights.
Like Simon, we will not stop peacefully protesting.
Like Simon, we will not stop speaking out about what is right.
Like Simon, we refuse to fear doing what is right and just in the face of repression.
We stand together against this injustice and speak as one. Simon is one of us and we are all Simon Moore!

Pingback: Statement of Solidarity with Simon Moore « Counter Olympics Network
The Olympics have become a means for the further diminution of citizens’ rights. Protest is criminalised. It’s not simply the Marshes that need to be restored.
This is a travesty of justice! Add my name in support of Simon.
We must all keep vigilant that the marshes ARE returned to exactly the state they started in. The criminals must not be allowed to get away with this land grab.

Please add my name to the campaign. The London Olympic committee are in truth physical representations of the worst capitalist nightmare scenario. Grab all the money they can for themselves and their friends, destroy large areas of London and the surrounding environment, ruin the lives of countless people and anyone who opposes them can get put in prison for simply existing.

There is something sickening about the way that the Olympic authorities can make up new laws to oppress ordinary people, while being except from existing laws themselves, when it comes to enclosing public spaces, destroying listed structures and turning homes into military bases.
… I did mean “exempt”, but my fingers typed something else.
