The crowd was young, passionate, peaceful despite anger after police broke the laws protecting squatters rights and used excessive force against innocent people, attending the free party at Belle Vue, on the 20th January.

The protestors accompanied by the RORM band marched from Urbis to rally in Albert Square and then on to a city centre police station. "Stop Police Brutality" and "You've got to fight for your right to paaarty!!" echoed through the misty streets of Manchester.
