A spycops campaigner outside the High Court
POLICE have admitted that the surveillance of an environmental activist by six spycops breached her right to a private life and was neither proportionate nor justified, campaigners say.
Kate Wilson, an environmental and social-justice campaigner, was deceived by an undercover police officer into starting a two-year sexual relationship in 2003.
Campaign group Police Spies Out of Lives said that the admission came in a preliminary hearing of Ms Wilson’s case against the Metropolitan Police and National Police Chiefs’ Council, which is being heard this week.
