At Least Four Arrests Made at STWC march

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

Four people were arrested near Trafalgar Square around 1:15pm on Saturday during the Stop the war Coalition rally, accused of intimidating a Forward Intelligence Team. Officer XB92 ‘Wayne’ Rooney requested back-up from three van loads of the Met’s ‘Griffon’ squad - supposed to provide additional security against “the threat of terrorism” within the “Government Security Zone”.

Leaflets about the Campaign for Free Asssembly (http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/03/393790.html) were seized as evidence, along with cameras, mobile phones and notebooks. The arrests were made under s241 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, see below. All four were released on bail without charge after being held at Bishopsgate police station for 9 hours.
