Due to the terror connection ruling, in two weeks the Filton4 will no longer be able to receive letters from the public. This is an urgent call to write to them to show solidarity and encouragement before this happens.
There are a number of ways to write to the Filton4 (Fatema Zainab, Sam, Lottie and Ellie):
- Grab a pen and paper to write or draw your message. Post it using the prison number and addresses provided on the following pages. Include one stamp on the front and one inside the envelope (if you want a response). Just google the prison to find the address.
- Online, you can create an account with emailaprisoner.com using their prison address and number to send a message
- Get the community together and organise a letter writing workshop!
PLEASE NOTE:
Unfortunately the guards get to decide whether the prisoners receive their letters or not. For the best chance to reach them avoid offensive language or anything incriminating. Since Palestine Action is now a proscribed group it is best to avoid mentioning. Please do not ask them anything regarding the case for legal reasons.
To help you get started here is some info on what they like to read about!
