Imprisoned anarchist Toby Shone has been moved 265 kilometres from his
home in Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire and nearly 300 kilometres from
support in Bristol to HMP Garth in Leyland, a high security prison near
Manchester. Despite being in the resettlement part of his sentence, a
vengeful probation and counter-terror team are attempting to isolate
Toby from his perceived support base and loved ones in the south of the
country and deliberately place him at risk of harm in a notoriously
violent Category B prison for those serving sentences of 10 years or
more. Probation has demanded Toby serve the rest of his sentence which
is just short of 13 months, due for release on 11 November 2024.
Toby was imprisoned in Wandsworth, Bristol and G4S Prison Parc for
nearly two years accused of being the administrator of
counter-information project 325.nostate.net. After the political
prosecution failed and the cops had to drop the case 5 days before trial
in October 2021, Toby received a sentence of 3 years 9 months for
possession of psychedelic medicines. He was released on 28 December 2022
under heavy restrictions (license conditions) overseen by a multi-agency
team (MAPPA) including the National Security Division (counter-terror)
and was forced to live in a filthy bail hostel in Gloucester for 9
months. He had just moved back into a flat in the Forest of Dean in
Gloucestershire when, on the morning of 19 September 2023, he was pulled
over and arrested by an armed police unit a few miles from the city of
Gloucester. He was accused of being in possession of an unauthorised
phone and attending a dinner and prisoner letter writing night at BASE
anarchist social centre in Bristol in August.
Toby continues to be held as a TACT (Terrorist) prisoner despite being
proclaimed Not Guilty of any terrorist offence by a High Court Judge in
a court of law in October 2021.
Toby is in great spirits as ever and requests letters and emails. Emails
are getting through very quickly on emailaprisoner.com (please get him a

Anarchists gathered at HMP Bristol on Friday 21 September at 8pm. As darkness fell, fireworks were launched over the prison to protest the rearrest of anarchist Toby Shone and to let him know he is never alone.
Toby was arrested by an armed police unit while he was driving to Gloucester at 9am on Tuesday 19 September. The arrest was apparently ordered by Ashley Fussell from the National Security Division Wales and South West. The armed police unit is based at Bamfurlong, Gloucestershire, and was involved in Toby’s original arrest in November 2020.
Toby was arrested and recalled to prison for alleged breach of license conditions. He is accused of having an unauthorised phone and of attending an “anti-state” dinner and letter-writing night for anarchist prisoners held by Bristol Anti-Repression Campaign at BASE Social Centre in August. These alleged breaches apparently warranted an arrest by an armed counter-terrorist unit. The cops want him to serve the remainder of his sentence which means he will not be released until November 11, 2024.
Toby had just been released from the Approved Premises in Gloucester where he had been forced to live since getting out of prison at the end of December last year. Probation could no longer make a case for keeping Toby there under extreme curfew as the hostel needed the room and also didn’t understand why he was still there. He had been in his new flat in the Forest of Dean for just 9 days.

On the morning of 19 September 2023, he was driving to an appointment with his probation officer when he was pulled over and arrested by an armed police unit between the Forest of Dean and Gloucester. He was taken to HMP Bristol. He is awaiting more detailed information, but his legal team say that the allegations are that he breached two of his license conditions: being in possession of an [unauthorised] phone and attending a meeting in Bristol in August.
Toby is in great spirits as ever and requests letters and books.

It’s Sam’s birthday on Sunday! (Sadly the day after Taylor’s anniversary). She was Taylor’s life partner and they were together for over a decade. No one is more devastated by his loss than her. She feels like her whole future has been taken.
She could really do with some TLC this year from people around the world. Please send her a card!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can get one in the post or use a service like moonpig.com. She loves silly things, the moon, anything with plants or animals, loves sacred sites, Pink (the singer), punk rock, paganism and everything in between.
It would mean the world to me if you can send her a card.
Her address: Samantha Faulder A1209CF, HMP Eastwood Park, Falfield, Wotton-Under-Edge, GL12 8DB
