The solicitor for six green campaigners says police need to answer “serious questions” about an undercover officer who infiltrated their group. Mike Schwarz said efforts to charge the six with conspiring to shut down the Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station in Nottingham were a “serious attack on peaceful, accountable protest”. The case was suddenly dropped. It emerged that undercover Pc Mark Kennedy had offered to give evidence on the campaigners’ behalf.
