Mass arrests in Nottingham on Easter Monday

Reporter | 13.04.2009 07:49

BBC are reporting over 100 people arrested this morning on conspiracy to commit criminal trespass

BBC are speculating proposed sites of alleged planned trespass as possibly Ratcliffe power station, Eastcroft incinerator or Colwick oil depot.

Hopefully this story will be updated as readers learn more.

Readers might like to ponder the use of the new thought crime laws (where you break the law just by thinking of undertaking a crime) at a time when hundreds of climate activists might be preparing cases against the police following the illegal and violent behaviour of the police during the peaceful G20 protests.

station, seems to be people on the case. Police arent giving any info, obviously anyone organising this would at most press one of the red safety switches they usually have in places like this, they arent idiots. Becareful when posting to Eveningpost, when In posted there once before it flagged up my email& others commenters for people to read.
Please understand that anarchists work independently as possible & we really have no one leader, sometimes we have a heirarchy, but it changes all the time & the leaders change all the time as they are delegated& made using dirtect democracy as much as possible. Yes, we have people allover the place who are forced to work outside of these parameters occasionally, but only to save lives.
This could be a number of groups in nottingham, Greenpeace etc

They will be being held in various police stations across the county - that is the usual police action.

Disgusted that so many have been arrested. Democracy? Pah!
