Arrests in Norfolk and Portsmouth

13.10.2008 16:04

There were three arrests in Norfolk this morning and I know of one in Portsmouth.

I haven't been able to contact friends in London either but not sure if that's because they were arrested.

Will update when I know

keep fighting

This seems to have been a co-ordinated series of arrests in various parts of the country. Two people were taken in Norfolk first thing this morning and others in Derby and Leeds. It seems to be called 'Operation Fork' by the police and is focused on people involved with the liberation of farm animals.

Police station visit today - Norfolk

They are being held at Diss Police Station which is in Stanley Road, Diss.



I went there at lunchtime to see them and let the police know I was a trained legal observer however permission was denied for me to see them.

We have contacted a local firm of solicitors on their behalf to ensure fair proceedings but the word is this is related to some raids on a Bernard Mathews turkey prison some months ago.

there will be a demo at the station tonight at 8pm, please come if you can make it
