Human rights activists arrested after Amnesty calls police
A Kurdish protester is stopped by the police
FIFTEEN human-rights activists have been arrested after Amnesty International reported them to police.
The Metropolitan Police told the Morning Star that they were arrested for aggravated trespass and kept in overnight. They were released under the condition they do not re-enter the Amnesty HQ.
The dramatic arrests, which took place at the charity’s London offices on Friday night, are a public relations disaster for the human-rights organisation.
