'On Monday there was a elocal transformation. A lot people who had been apposed to the strike before re now the most active ackets. And they were dunderstruck when the trike was called off.
Not one train ran in the DAVY Marzella, a member of the Troops Out Movement (TOM), and a sympathiser of Welsh Republicanism, was arrested on the morning of June 22 under the Explosive Substances Act. Police entered and searched his flat and took away political literature as well as files and correspondence belonging to another occupant.
After being held at Bishopsgate Police Station for 36 hours he was released without charge, but he is on Police Bail, and will have to report to them again on July 28.
Brian Rhys was also arrested, held for 50 hours, then released, immediately rearrested and taken to Cardiff, where he is now being held. He has been charged under the Explosive. Substances Act and appeared in court on June 25.
Friends of Marzella and Rhys believe that these arrests are connected with the arrests of five militant natiónalists in Wales last month, on explosives offences which they categorically deny. Police harassment of Weish nationalists has also included widespread raids in 'Operation Fire' March 1980.
