Nine people were at the regular Tuesday night demonstration at NSA Menwith Hill including Rythms of Resistance from Sheffield. The demonstration was filmed by a student from Sheffield University as part of her dissertation.

 

Two  cars which were driven dangerously out of the base and it seemed deliberately at  some of the demonstrators had their numbers taken by PC Godfrey (Ministry of Defence Police Agency officer) who said that he would 'deal with them later' and make a statement.

 

Lindis Percy was arrested by PC Grainge for alleged 'obstruction of the highway'.  She was taken to Harrogate Police Station - where Sergeant Radcliffe (Custody officer) detained her.  She was later charged with the above alleged offence.

 

This charge brings the number of cases before District Judge Anderson to 32.  He will preside at another pre-trial review and then on to trial at Harrogate Magistrates' Court on

(there will be a 'sentencing' case heard first).  Court time has been set aside for 6 days.
