“Lancaster University has not learnt from this event and we see that it continues censor dissent and stifle debate.” George Fox 6 Supporters Group
The George Fox 6 have lost their appeal against their convictions for aggravated trespass brought about for protesting at a corporate conference hosted at Lancaster university. In his judgement, Judge Baker dismissed the appeal. He found that when the appellants entered the conference they did so as trespassers with intent to disrupt and obstruct a lawful activity.
In a move to attempt to limit the impact of local solidarity protests, the authorities had moved the case away from from Lancaster to Preston.
