"d10 five" now released
ippy | 22.02.2002 18:05
After being held at Watford police station for more than 22 hours, all five d10 activists have now been released.
They have been given police bail and told to appear on 27 March back at Watford police station.
We received a brief report from them about what happened during the action:
Paint *was* thrown at the screen during the multimedia display , their banner was unfurled, confetti was thrown, and antimilitarist speeches were made! Several people in the audience booed! We also heard a rumour that the Chief Constable of Hertfordshire police happened to be in the audience!
After taking this action the five decided to leave, at which point they were obstructed, assaulted, and detained by British Army personnel. They were reminded at the time that only the police have the right of detention – and that right is called “arrest”!
Subsequently they were arrested for conspiracy to commit criminal damage.
At the police station officers seized all the activists clothing, a digital camera, and a minidisc recorder (used for gathering evidence of the action and subsequent assaults).
