Police Harassment of Bristol Solidarity Federation Member

from: http://www.solfed.org.uk/bristol/police-harassment-of-bristol-solidarity-federation-member

As a Bristol SF member recently arrived at a UK airport he was not expecting to be approached by plain clothed police and invited to have a little chat. This blatant attempt to harass and intimidate one of members swiftly ended as the SF member, after realising they were not going to detain him, attempted to record the conversation and chased them off.

Bristol SF have a clear message for the police. We are about working-class solidarity, internationalism and freedom. Your creed is suspicion and paranoia. Your role is to protect privilege and crush dissent. We will never talk to you.

The member has released a full account of what happened on the day, along with some advice for anyone stopped in similar circumstances – http://rabble.org.uk/dealing-with-counter-terror-cops-at-the-airport-today
