Support Drew and Harry Against UK False Charges

UK police arrested me and held me incommunicado after the Chinese Embassy in London reported me as a terrorist for peacefully protesting outside. I was handcuffed in a stress position and ultimately held in a cell for 23 hours with no access to lawyers or the Australian High Commission.

My innocent mate Harry was arrested and held too for simply filming my peaceful protest. Like me he's now facing potential charges related to ''conspiracy to a bomb threat.'' These charges can carry a penalty of up to seven years in prison. In addition, Harry's laptop and phone were seized as well as my phone.

This is a horrific miscarriage of justice - we have been set up by an authoritarian regime which hates dissent. UK police won't clarify whether I am allowed to leave the country. I want to go home to see my family. I absolutely can't afford to stay in the UK. I face the prospect of homelessness if I am forced to stay in the UK to defend myself for an extended period of time.

I really need the support of the public. While we are lucky our barrister is working pro bono, solicitors fees have already been 3000 pounds for less than a day worth of work. We are uni student and we can't afford to defend ourselves like this. I need to buy a new phone, Harry needs to buy new devices. My Mum wants to travel to the UK to see me but she would need to borrow money out of the home mortgage. I don't want my family to financially suffer. I need to raise money for potential travel costs and all potential legal costs, I need to raise money so that I'm not going to be homeless in the UK if I'm forced to stay here. Please help Harry and I during this desperate moment. Depending on the amount raised I may buy some video recording equipment so I can make YouTube videos explaining to the public what the Chinese Communist Party does to peaceful protestors
