Missing girl reported located. Refused access to solliciters apparently and bailed to return home by tonight. After passing around a bucket, the camp bought her a ticket home.

Any news?

Has she been found?

Concerned

Any proof outside the camp????

Has anyone actually got this video? This is a serious allegation, and surely those outside the camp should be informed and the police should be making a statement. This video should be made public

Unbiased facts please

What actually happened then? A statement claiming the police actually kidnapped the girl is ludicrous and doesn't help matters. So she was arrested...what made it different from the other arrests? Why was there a search being carried out if people knew she had been arrested?

Oh and she would not have been 'refused access to a solicitor'! That would only happen rarely and in very serious offences and serious circumstances. Love or hate the old bill, this is not the 1970s and Gene Hunt didn't nick her.

I just like to read factual updates, that's all.

Fair bloke

It's happened before..

In the past I have been refused access to a doctor whilst in police custody! It was mentioned on the interview tape and suddenly I was released. Went to my doctor the day after and got my injuries (which the police claimed didn't exist but included head injuries) officially recorded.

I've also been refused suitable food (vegan) despite it being a legal requirement.SO don't give us this shit about how fair the police are!

Very Fair Bloke

"Fair Bloke", what you probably meant to say is that you liked to read updates that aren't propoganda (misleading) in addition to being "factual". The best propoganda IS "factual", truth presented in ways guaranteed to make it misleading.

I'm not familiar with the way your system works but over here a MINOR could in fact be denied the demand for a "lawyer of my choice". That's not quite the same thing as being denied legal representation. Just that the minor might not get to choose "who" representing her. Here her legal guardians and/or "child protective services" gets to choose. At least INITIALLY (other legal representation might be able to contest that and get involved but going to take more time to file an "amicus" brief than has elapsed here.

I was nicked as a teenage in the 1980s on a peace demo and it was pretty scary......;since then I have clocked up a fair few arrests at protests (at least 20?) and have been denied access to both doctors and solicitors. I have also been subject to racist abuse in custody twice as my name is foreign. All of this is supposed to scare us off to intimidate us and scare us.

Funny....

Isn't it funny the way this story is only on indymedia and no video has been posted?

It's almost as if it didn't happen.

FAIRly sceptical
