two released without charge

Did the legal Observers get released without charge? If not I would be asking questions about why two people were released. More likely situation would be for the cops to bail pending further enquiries. Even when they know they wont charge

Don't worry people. When the CCTV is properly looked at all the violent people will be getting their doors kicked in at 5am. Sleep well anarchists!
