Pictures of the repressive measures in place at the camp site for protesters in Edinburgh, and the autonomous Dissent! space carved out within it.

Following obstructions of Dissent!'s attempts to find self-organised space for accomodation in Edinburgh, they reluctantly accepted the council's 'generous' offer of space in a fenced-in, security-guarded park on the edge of town (there was also talk of CCTV, although I didn't see any when I was there).

Here are a few pictures of the space. It's pretty pleasant if you ignore the fences, and it will be even better when it is filled up with protestors during the next week of action.
