Jamie Bevan

Gareth Jamie Bevan is a Welsh language campaigner and a member of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg.

[1] Bevan refused to pay fines and costs to Merthyr Tydfil Magistrate's Court for breaking into Conservative Party offices in north Cardiff the day before a visit from David Cameron in a demonstration against cuts to S4C.

Bevan was sentenced to 35 days in prison by Merthyr Tydfil magistrates in 2012.

He said that he was using the case to draw attention to the lack of Welsh language correspondence from the courts.

He has performed live at the National Eisteddfod of Wales[6] and at Welsh language, republican[9] and other political benefit gigs, together with regular appearances at Red Poets events alongside poet Mike Jenkins and others.
