Carnival Against the Arms Trade - EDO Brighton

Brighton, Sussex. June 4, 2008

Police start to get pushed back

 
  And start to use their batons - though while I was watching they this officer only hit the banner
 
 
 
  Police start to give way, but their colleagues behind stay back and watch
 
 
 
 
     
Here you can see we are on the edge of the drop - and the tops of trees below   
     


 

Police in riot gear move forward slightly as the demonstrators break through - but then move back to protect the gate

Demonstrators in the car park seen from above. I thought the police would have no problem in preventing access to the factory - there were more police around and a tall fence with a gate I was sure would be locked. But after I had gone, the gate came open and police failed to stop the demonstrators entering. Several windows were broken, and police used batons, dogs and pepper spray on the demonstrators, making 10 arrests.
