Following raids 2 months ago, 8 anti-fur activists have been charged under section 1A of the protection from harassment act 1997.

Section 1A was introduced by the SOCPA 2005 to now make the definition of harassment to include conduct on one occasion only, provided that it involves the 'harassment' of two or more persons and is done with the intention of persuading them to do something that they are entitled not to do or not to do something which they are entitled to do

The activists are bailed to return to the city of westminster magistrates court on Monday.
