The National Union of Journalists is providing emergency legal help to members covering the EDL march and Unite Against Fascism protest rally in Leicester on Saturday, February 4th.
A helpline has been set up so that photographers, videographers and reporters can call if they get arrested, assaulted or in any other trouble that needs a solicitor.
The number is:   07814 453137.
The legal back-up is offered to only NUJ members who are working, not to those taking part in the protests as private citizens.  It would helpful if you could bring your NUJ membership number.
