SPYCOPS’ victims condemned the Undercover Policing Inquiry today for hearing evidence in secret and called for a review of anonymity orders granted to former undercover officers.
The victims accused the inquiry of misreading the public mood after it announced last week that it had heard evidence from five former undercover officers in secret.
The inquiry was set up following the revelation that a unit of Metropolitan Police officers secretly infiltrated and targeted over 1,000 organisations and campaigners for more than 40 years.
