These photos were seized from the 4 antiwar activists who did a number of die-ins outside Parliamant and 10 Downing St last November during the re-opening of Parliament.

Apparently it is 'antisocial' to draw attention to the slaughter in Iraq...

The photos of a similar action carried out later that day inside the Cabinet Office were also seized but never returned, although no charges were ever brought against the four people invoived. The four were told by the police yesterday that the Cabinet Office had decided not to prosecute.

Great photos, very very courageous action, great respect 2 u...

but your pics are straight out of a 4 meg camera and therefore huge. So please remember in future to resize your pictures to no more than 600 pixels cos it's really hard to see the whole picture & they take an age to become visible on dialup. Just about any graphics program can resize pictures - usually under Image, Resize on the top menu. Maybe one day Indymedia UK will automatically resize latge pics like some other sites do but this could be a long time off cos the techs are really overworked.

Hope the cops do return the cabinet office ones cos they sound very interesting.
