PRESS RELEASE: Appeal Court ruling upholds Human Rights & Democracy

25-05-2009 11:17

LONDON: Today, Thursday 21 May 2009, the Court of Appeal found that
the Metropolitan police broke the law in its routine surveillance of people involved
in lawful and peaceful political activity[1]. The legal action arose when staff members from Campaign Against Arms Trade legitimately attended the 2005 Annual General Meeting of
