>Yet another week has gone by for prisoner in need of
>IMMEDIATE care.
>
>Last week we reported that an application for
>compassionate bail would be made on 27 August on
>behalf of Aiden Hulme. Hulme has a leg injury, which
>due to lack of proper treatment, has developed
>gangrene. If not treated immediately, it may otherwise
>necessitate amputation.
>
>We have been informed, however, that the application
>for bail was not made. The lawyers for Aiden decided
>they would have a better chance if they got a Queen's
>Council (QC) to make the application. One has been
>found and is 'listed' to do it on Wednesday next.
>Being 'listed' means the intention to apply for bail
>has been registered. The prosecution will most likely
>get a QC of their own to oppose the application.
>Aiden's lawyers, however, are 'very optimistic' about
>bail being granted.
>
>There was also a problem about getting an hospital to
>accept Aiden. Several hospitals turned him down
>because he is a 'CATEGORY A' prisoner; and hospitals
>are reluctant to accept prisoners like Aiden because
>of all the armed security people who would accompany
>him into the hospital. Despite such obstacles,
>however, one HAS been found — and also the consultant
>surgeon is prepared to do the operation PRIVATELY — so
>there won't be any waiting involved for Aiden.
>
>It is now a case of waiting (again) until next week
>before we know if he is going to be bailed.

>A spokesperson for the 32 County Sovereignty Movement

>''There's no doubt whatsoever now that Aiden Hulme is
>in need of immediate treatment if his leg is to be
>saved. A hospital bed has been found for him — despite
>the obstacles — and a surgeon is on stand-by to
>perform the operation. We are disappointed another
>week has to go by before a decision is made regards
>granting him compassionate bail. We urge all our
>supporters and friends to continue applying pressure
>on the Home Secretary and Belmarsh prison authorities
>until Aiden is granted bail and taken to hospital''.
