ABOUT E.L.P. SUPPORT NETWORK ELP
is an international eco-prisoner support network founded, in Britain, in 1993 to support jailed eco-activists. We support the prisoners by producing various regular prisoner lists: Spirit of Freedom is ELP's international monthly prisoner listing which is circulated by e-mail. Urgent ELP! Bulletin is an e-mail service that distributes the names of any new eco-prisoner as soon as ELP gets their details.
For more info e-mail [email protected] On-Line Newsletters - ELP has a number of websites that provide news, prisoner lists and additional info about ELP & the prisoners.
