Faith in the Justice System September 10, 2008
Posted by CamdenKiwi in : Miscellany , trackbackMy faith in the justice system is restored. The BBC is reporting that the jury in the Maidstone County Court has found the Greenpeace protestors at Kingsnorth not guilty. The treatment of people who protested at the Climate Camp in August was disgraceful in a free country, with unnecessary searches, confiscation of personal property apparently including a board game (did they need something to entertain themselves?) and misuse of powers which are supposed to protect us against terrorism but more often seem to be used to repress anyone who doesn’t agree with the government’s line.
Hopefully the government and police will take heed and stop treating peaceful protesters like terrorists and criminals.
