Patriotic Alternative are pleased to announce that we have begun distributing the funds from our fundraiser for the families of political prisoners.

Family of Lewis Carver: £2000

Lewis Carver is a 31-year-old landscaper and father of two sons, aged six and eight. He was jailed for 16 months for throwing a traffic cone towards police and holding a riot shield over his head.

According to Hull Live: "Judge Mark Bury told Carver: "I can't think of anybody less likely to be involved in this than you. It makes no sense to me." Carver had no previous convictions, he had a loving relationship, two young boys and a good job as well as numerous friends, who had written references."

Despite this, Carver was sentenced to 16 months in prison as a deterrent to other people with a source close to Carver telling us that the judge stated during sentencing that he wished he could suspend Carver's sentence but he can't because of "the media".

Total money distributed: £2000
