==Wednesday  9th December 2009,AFGHANISTAN PUBLIC MEETING DEFEND LANCE CORPORAL JOE GLENTON==
 +
7.30pm in THE CURVE (downstairs) at the FORUM, MILLENNIUM PLAIN, NORWICH
 +
SPEAKER: JOHN TIPPLE, (FROM JOE’S LEGAL TEAM)
 +
 
 +
Lance Corporal Joe Glenton is the soldier who faces desertion charges for
 +
refusing to return to Afghanistan plus additional charges for speaking out
 +
in opposition to the presence of troops in Afghanistan, for which he could
 +
face 10 years in prison.
 +
The latest poll (for the Independent on Sunday)shows that 71% of Britons
 +
back the call for withdrawal of forces within a year. They, like Joe
 +
Glenton, are saying the war is not being fought in their name.
 +
The Independent also reports that "this ill-conceived and ill-judged war
 +
has left as many as 32,000 Afghans dead and 235,000 displaced."
 +
While generals are free to speak in support of sending more soldiers to a
 +
futile war in Afghanistan, when a soldier speaks out he is imprisoned.  As
 +
we cannot have Joe speak to us, we are pleased to have John Tipple, one of
 +
his legal team, to update us on this matter.
 +
Help us to make this an important meeting in our campaign to bring the
 +
troops home and to support a courageous soldier.
 +
