Tuesday 28th July - Maurice has been taken to County Court today (handcuffed) r.e. his civil case.
It was adjourned again.
He did not have the necessary papers as he was not aware of this hearing until yesterday
He is continuing to refuse food to protest against his only option of appearing in court is by video link rather than in person.
He is very appreciative of letters that he has been receiving.
Maurice’s physical health is not good, he is 64 years old and should have been given bail as per Barry Magistrate's decision on 24th June (ie 5 weeks ago) prior to appeal by the CPS.
It is inhumane that he is being held in this manner. Maurice has been examined by a psychiatric team as directed by Judge Cook. We are not aware of any conclusions drawn.
