On Thursday 31st January the Undercover Policing Inquiry holds its next preliminary hearing.
It is trying to weigh up the right to privacy of those invovled in the scandal; can people who were spied on be publicly named? Do new data protection laws mean victims have a right to see information that’s held about them?
Everyone who was spied on deserves the fullest answers. We do not trust the trained liars who abused us to do their own redactions. The files should be given to their subjects so that the public can see who was spied on and why.
The officers invovled in this sordid counter-democratic policing must be named and held to account.
Join us outside the Royal Courts of Justice before the hearing to demand the release of the files so that we may see the truth and begin to approach justice.
