A WOMAN who had an “intimate sexual relationship” with an undercover police officer must be told his real name, an inquiry has ordered.
The police spy, using the cover name Rob Harrison, slept with the woman known only as Maya while he infiltrated the pro-Palestine International Solidarity Movement (ISM) between 2004 and 2007.
Undercover Policing Inquiry chairman Sir John Mitting said: “She knew him in his cover name. She is entitled to know his real name.”
