The "SHAC 7" are 6 activists and a corporation, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty USA Inc., who were found guilty in 2006 of multiple felonies for their alleged role in campaigning to close down the notorious animal testing lab, Huntingdon Life Sciences. One of the activists remains in federal prison. They were not accused of smashing windows, liberating animals or even attending demonstrations; they are serving lengthy sentences for simply reporting on and encouraging others to engage in legal demonstrations and supporting the ideology of direct action.

Kevin needs your support! Please take a few minutes to write to him, even if you don't know him. A prisoner's only line to the outside is letters, and mail call is the most important time of day.
