Protesters "had rights violated"
10:20am Wednesday 13th December 2006
Comments (0)The Law Lords today upheld a claim by peace campaigners that their rights to ''freedom of movement and lawful assembly'' were violated when police prevented them from attending an anti-Iraq war demonstration at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire in 2003.
Police had stopped coachloads of campaigners on their way to the air base and held the buses for several hours on the motorway.
