  • It’s always a mix at events like this. I heard from friends who were arrested that while some officers were violent, most people weren’t cuffed (which is unusual for protests like this) and one arestee had this to say about their arrest:

    When I was taken to a room for interview at the Police Station, there was a plain clothes officer who I later discovered was from an anti terrorism unit.

    As my HJA solicitor and the other officer were still outside the room I was alone with this officer for a few seconds he spoke directly to me. " let’s get this crap done, I’ve done some pretty crap things but this has to be the worst."

    The " No comment" interview followed and when the recording was completed,I apologised for my blank response to all their questions. Both officers responded in the kindest way by saying please don’t worry we know it’s what you have to do.
