Please write cards or letters to the following prisoners. Even if you just send a card with a brief message, receiving a message of support from the outside world can make a huge difference to the prisoner. Remember all correspondence is read by prison staff. Also don’t expect a reply as there is a limit to the number of letters each prisoner can write. Many prisons in the Uk are signed up to the 'Email a Prisoner' service, where you can email letters to all UK AR prisoners, see their website for more details: http://www.emailaprisoner.com

Cheques & Postal Orders

Please note that details of who the cheques/POs should be made payable to are listed below. The prisoner's name and number should be printed clearly on the back of the cheque/PO. The prisoner will then forward the cheque/PO to be processed. Please also include a Stamped Addressed Envelope (SAE) for the prisoner to acknowledge receipt, and indicate in your letter that you have done so.

Viktor Padellaro ( 11/117-4 )
Häktet Göteborg, Ullevigatan 11, Box 216, 401 23 Göteborg, Sweden

Viktor was sentenced to three years and six months in prison for arson at a McDonald's in Gothenburg, for smashing windows at a restaurant he believed to be serving shark-fin soup, and for sending allegedly threatening letters to fur store owners, AstraZeneca employees and others involved in animal abuse. Viktor has been detained on remand since his arrest in August 2011.

Note: ALFSG are aware of Viktor's past links to fascist groups. Viktor has released a statement in which he expresses shame at his former association with fascists before his AR actions. We are convinced that Viktor is being truthful about his change of heart. We believe that people can change for the better. But individuals can make their own decision on whether to support him or not.

You can also send emails of support to: S.GBG.VEGAN@gmail.com and they will be printed out and sent to him.
