West Newton Camp Arrests 02/06/2014
Update:DTG02062014 23:55hours.
Humberside Police are STILL refusing to tell us or even the solicitors which station they have taken Nick and Ben over 3h after arrest.
Nick and ‘Gadget’ Ben have been arrested at West Newton Protection Camp for obstruction of highway while walking in vehicles into the fracking compound! The police have refused to tell us which station they have been taken to! Nick was put on the ground and handcuffed by 4 officers who painfully twisted his arms behind his back. This is despite Nick peacefully walking down the road and posing no threat to anyone or himself. He asked that he be released from the cuffs as he was willing to to walk to the van without resistance and in response the officers picked him up and carried him into the van! Absolutely outrageous disgustingly heavy handed approach on peaceful protectors! It is most likely the arrestees will he kept overnight in the cells and released tomorrow morning. Please watch the livestream video of this arrest and share this EVERYWHERE. Humberside police must not get away with this! ~ West Newton Protection Camp.
Live stream video of Nick and Ben’s arrest at West Newton camp today. Please watch and share! And don’t forget to flood Humberside police with your complaints at them once again denying our right to peaceful protest as well as using heavy handed techniques on peaceful protectors. They also have a twitter @Humberbeat. They’d love to hear from you.
