SHAC / ALF Blackmailer has sentence increased on appeal

Gladys | 15.01.2008 08:20 | Animal Liberation | Education | London

Deborah Morrison, an animal rights extremist who waged a five-year blackmail campaign against companies and individuals has had her jail sentence increased from eight months to two years.




Deborah Morrison, 35, from Dorchester, Dorset, pleaded guilty to 12 offences, including six charges of blackmail, at Stafford Crown Court in October.

Court of Appeal judges have now ruled Morrison's sentence should increase from eight months to two years.

The judges said the original sentence had been "unduly lenient".

Over five years Morrison sent dozens of emails and letters - some containing white powder - to individuals and companies which had, or used to have, connections with animal research organisations.
