Forward Intelligence Team was not authorised to monitor NoBorders Meeting. Protestors acquitted in Crown Court.

(press release by London NoBorders)
London NoBorders welcomes the Crown Court decision to clear three activists of the charges of "obstructing the police".  The Inner London Crown Court ruled that police surveillance of a public political meeting had not been proved to be lawful and that the police had failed to provide any evidence that they were pursuing a "legitimate aim". 

Three activists were arrested at the meeting called by London NoBorders in June 2008 when they protested against the surveillance of the meeting by the Metropolitan Police's "Forward Intelligence Team."
