Today the CPS in Brighton dropped yet another controversial criminal case against an anti-arms trade protester in Brighton. A legal observer who was arrested for using a video camera at a demonstration outside EDO MBM in June last year in an alleged breach of the harassment act injunction then in force, has had all charges against him dropped . In February EDO dropped their interim injunction against all protesters after a long legal battle by protesters in the High Court.
The case would have involved a Crown Court jury trial and the legal observer faced a possible 5 year prison sentence if found guilty. In June last year he has remanded to HMP Lewes for nearly a week after his arrest despite the fact that he has no criminal record.
The dropping of the case follows the dropping of charges against 30 other protesters related to protests at EDO over the last there months.
