The repugnance felt when the 20-year sentence on Christie was announced has led to the spontaneous setting up of organisations to protest and agitate for his release. Several hundred people took part in the march organised by the Christie/Caballo Defence Committee last Saturday in London, Readers of The Week should try and contact their local committee and if °@Sesn't exist try to help to form one, Various petitions are circulating, one in Nottinghamm can be obtained from Dick Skyers, 190, Gordon Rd. - he is organising the collection of signatures in the Old Market Square on Saturday afternoon, commencing at 223022 Also it is expected that there will be an informal meeting of participents at the NALSO school in Sevenoaks, next week, to see what can be done to co-ordinate local campaigns, especially at university level.
