David Green says:
I understand that Simon Singh will announce whether he will appeal on Monday 18 May 2009 at a public support meeting to take place in London at 6.30pm.
The venue will be the Penderels Oak, the usual meeting place of London Skeptics in the Pub.
As well as Simon Singh, the leading UK journalist Nick Cohen will be speaking. Other speakers are currently being confirmed.
For more, see Jack of Kent's blog.
I also have an article in this week's New Scientist, see here.
Many thanks for your support!
Sadly I'll be in London a day too late to attend, but if you're in the area you should definitely make an effort to be there and show your support. Stay in the loop by joining the For Simon Singh and Free Speech on Facebook.
