If you are going to Whitby or are around that area at the time then you might want to consider joining in a silent demonstration when those that killed Sophie and seriously injured Rob are sentenced on the 28th April.
On Monday 28th April 2008 the Sophie Lancaster & Rob Maltby hearing reaches it's conclusion. The sentencing takes place of Ryan Herbert and Brendan Harris, found guilty of Sophie's murder. Also, the sentencing of Herbert, Harris and 3 other boys found guilty of GBH (sec.18) against her boyfriend Rob.
The family have asked for support and the plan is to hold a silent vigil outside the court, no shouting, no placards or banners, just a silent gathering of alternative people, a dignified protest and a show of defiance and strength.
If anyone would like to be a part of this then a coach trip is being arranged, leaving Whitby in the morning, and then returning later that day in time for the evenings festivities. If you would like to be a part of this, please contact martin oldgoth via www.thirteen13.co.uk with your name and email contact so that we can gauge the numbers.
At this point in time we have no idea of cost, but it will be kept to a minimum. All you will need to do to secure your place is to visit the info stall before midnight on the saturday and pay your fare.
Car sharing is also encouraged, and anyone not going to Whitby but able to make it is also welcome.
