Breaking News // Animal Rights Activists Being Held by Security MRC Harwell

WARN | 16.06.2008 16:48 | Animal Liberation | Oxford

Three activists from the West Country have been locked inside a dog unit at MRC Harwell in Oxfordshire by security.

We received a phone call only minutes ago from a group of activists who have been locked inside a dog unit at MRC Harwell after they entered onto the site for a look around.

They were then spotted by security when they tried to leave and have been locked inside a building and they were told the "atomic police" had been called.

More information as and when we know what's happening...
