Just before the next London 2600 meeting, there will be a demonstration in support of Gary McKinnon, a London based former hacker, who is facing extradition to the USA , rather than trial in the UK, for allegedly hacking into 97 US Military and NASA computer systems back in 2001 / 2002.
Gary has recently been diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome, and legal fight against extradition to the USA has gone through the whole UK legal system to the House of Lords and to the European Court of Human Rights.
He has not been charged with, let alone convicted, of any crime in the UK. Under the unfair Extradition Act 2003, no actual prima facie evidence which could have been challenged by his legal team, has been heard by any British court, during these lengthy extradition proceedings.
The demonstration is scheduled from 5pm to 7pm, on Friday 5th December in Grosvenor Square, London (nearest Tube Bond Street)
