A SPYCOP who infiltrated women’s rights groups in the 1970s does not believe her undercover work was worthwhile, a public inquiry heard today.
The former officer who spied on the Women’s Liberation Front (WLF), told the Undercover Policing Inquiry that the police should not be involved in undercover work at all.
Now in her 70s, the officer, known only by her cypher HN348, joined the Maoist faction of the women’s rights group in 1972 after being recruited to the Special Demonstration Squad (SDS) in 1971, and served in the unit until 1973.
