UK: Cannabis rally gets go-ahead from GLA

South London Press

Tuesday 10 May 2005

---
PRO-CANNABIS campaigners banned from holding a festival in South London
will rally in Trafalgar Square.

Thousands of people are expected to join the demonstration in central
London, calling for the drug to be legalised.

Organisers were forced to look elsewhere in February when Lambeth council
refused them permission to host the seventh Cannabis March and Festival in
Brockwell Park, Herne Hill - alleging drug dealing had taken place at last
year's event.

But the Greater London Authority (GLA) has allowed the march and rally to
go ahead on Sunday.

Organiser Shane Collins said: "I am pleased the march is going ahead in
such a high-profile spot but disappointed that Lambeth is to lose out."

The march will begin in Russell Square at 1pm and continue to Trafalgar
Square, where speakers will lead the rally from 3pm to 7pm.
