Sussex Police monitored LGBT activist

AN LGBT anti-cuts group called on Sussex Police yesterday to stop intimidating one of its Brighton campaigners following revealations she had been monitored over the last two years.

Queers Against the Cuts (QUAC) founder Beth Granter was left stunned when she received a phone call at her workplace last week saying she had been identified as the organiser of events the police was concerned about. 

She was contacted several times on her work phone and personal mobile over her involvement in political groups and events she had attended.
