Liberty's high court challenge of Met police tactics

The Metropolitan police used anti-terror searches to intimidate, disrupt and deter protest at DSEI.

In response, Liberty challenges these police tactics in the high court judicial review on the 2nd of October, 2003. Supporters should arrive at 9am outside the Royal Courts of Justice, on The Strand, London.

On December 10th, Blunkett ordered an Scotland Yard investigation of alleged misuse of the anti-terror searches at DSEI. Blunkett's statements suggest that
this was the first time anti-terror search powers may have been misused, but there is substantial documentation of such police tactics being employed against protesters around 'RAF Fairford' airbase during the invasion of Iraq.

In July 2003, Liberty, Gloucestershire Weapons Inspectors, and Berkshire CIA issued the 22 page report "Casualty of War - Eight weeks of counter terrorism in rural England".
