Anti-fascist protest leader arrested ahead of protest

nazikicker | 20.03.2010 15:14 | Anti-racism | Repression | Sheffield

The media is reporting an arrest for 'conspiracy to commit violent disorder' - BEFORE the EDL protest and counter-protest in Bolton.

This report claims that the leader of UAF has been arrested for 'conspiracy to cause violent disorder'.

 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1259409/Police-attack-right-wing-group-anti-fascists-clash-violent-street-protests.html

The source is not very reliable, but it's hard to see why they'd fib in this case.

If true, this is a frightening signal - people viewed as organisers of protests are at risk of this kind of conspiracy charge.

To date, police have not tried to bring this particular charge in court. There are some questions over whether it is even possible to add conspiracy onto what is already a collective offence.
