Nine people arrested and charged with criminal damage.
Saturday 20th July, around 80-100 people attended a public meeting and rally in Lymm, Cheshire against a field of genetically modified maize sown as part of the governments farm scale trials.
A colourful parade marched throught the village accompanied by samba music, many people in white suits - looked really cool!
The people then visited the test site, around 30-40 demonstrators went onto the field and began to decontaminate the mutant crop, kicking it, stamping on it, whacking it with placards...
Nine people were arrested in total and held in custody for between 11 and 14 hours, eventually they were all charged with criminal damage.
they are due to appear at warrington magistrates court on friday july 26th.
