Victory for anti-fascists who took on the BNP
Court throws out case against protesters who tried to halt fascist London march
Five activists arrested while trying to stop a fascist march on the Cenotaph walked free from court yesterday following their landmark legal triumph over the Metropolitan police.
They were among 59 anti-fascists arrested on Whitehall while trying to prevent members of the British National Party descending on Britain’s war memorial last June.
The Metropolitan Police and Crown Prosecution Service singled out the five for prosecution under the Public Order Act.
