Incredible State repression against UK activists: UPDATE!
fitups'R'us | 04.07.2002 10:35
Several weeks ago one of the FIT (Forward Intelligence Team – police officers who monitor activists by filming, photographing and following them) told an activist that CID were looking for all the people involved. This warning was posted to indymedia [

Then two weeks ago the activist Emily Apple was arrested[

Police analysed CCTV footage from the office lobby and claim to have matched faces to names presumably using FIT intelligence and yesterday raided the houses of several other activists and arrested them. Two people had computers confiscated, as happened during the Radical Dairy raid[

Police also turned up at the Dairy, other activists’ houses and at least one squat in the North of England but no arrests were made. Police are still searching for more people allegedly involved so if you were be careful. None of the insane charges will stick because the only “crime” they claim occurred was some writing on a wall but still having your house raided and your possessions taken from you (especially computers) and then having to go to jail and court would not be a pleasant experience.
Such overtly repressive tactics are unusual as raids like this have not even been carried out in relation to any Maydays, let alone a five-minute, non-violent action in a corridor.
Updates, court dates etc. will be posted as they are known.
