Stuart Leaves Berrimah Prison...

Stuart Highway will leave Berrimah Prison tomorrow, Tuesday, January 17, 2006 at 9am.

Stuart has served 3 months for his part in the 6th Smoke-In in Raintree Park where a police vehicle was damaged.

Stuart has spent much of his imprisonment in a punishment cell for refusing to give a urine sample for a random drug test.

When asked why he refused to submit to a test, particualrly as he is not an IV drug user, Stuart replied, "No one has the right to my bodily fluids."

Failing to provide a sample means that Stuart was labelled an "Identified Drug User" (IDU) and as such lost all his priveliges.

He had his visits cut back to half an hour per week and was not allowed phone calls.
