"The Metropolitan Police has admitted to the unlawful use of Section 14 of the Public Order Act during the first week of the October protests, following a threat of further legal action by Extinction Rebellion’s lawyers"
Over 1000 cases set to be dropped against Extinction Rebellion protesters arrested during October’s International Rebellion (Pressenza, link):
“- The news follows Extinction Rebellion’s landmark victory in the High Court earlier this month in which the Met’s blanket Section 14 ban from the second week of the International Rebellion was ruled to be an unlawful overreach of Police powers
– Extinction Rebellion now expects police investigations and charges against over 1000 of its activists to be dropped.”
