Submitted by Nightmist on Sun, 2002-03-17 00:55
This story in Ireland's Longford Leader reports that an unnamed Irish man who chained himself to a seat in Carrick-on-Shannon court house in protest against Ireland's discriminatory family law system was cleared of public disorder charges. The man who cannot be named for legal reasons and in order to protect the identity of his spouse and children was charged with a breach of the peace at Carrick court house when he refused to leave the court room when requested by Judge Deery. The man chained himself to a seat and attempted to read out a statement outlining alleged discrimination against men within the Family Law court. The gentleman was also supported by a throng of other protestors outside court.
