Spycops' victims threaten to walk away from nearly 10 year-long inquiry
Campaigners from Police Spies out of Lives speak to the media after the publication of first part of the report from the Undercover Policing Inquiry, at Blackfriars Settlement, south east London, June 29, 2023

MORE than 100 victims have threatened to walk away from the long-running “unfair” spycops inquiry.

A total of 92 individuals and 20 activist groups have signed an open letter alleging mistreatment by the probe which began in July 2015.

They have threatened to withhold giving evidence to the next stage of the inquiry covering abuses by the Metropolitan Police’s political undercover units between 1993 and 2014.
