As the campaign has intensified and more people have been made aware of the existence of a bomb making factory less than a mile and a half from Brighton City Centre so has police repression .
The march left Churchill Square (Brighton's main shopping mall) with intention of marching to the Level. Police (some drafted in from the Met) blocked North Road and with a large audience of shoppers and bystanders attacked the crowd. Four arrests followed. One arrest of an eighty year old man visibly shocked the general public.
The march starts a week of action against EDO MBM, for more info visit www.smashedo.org.uk
