<h2><a

'Harassing, Alarming,and Distressing' the Police</a></h2>

oh... the irony... Today Marcus Wise, described by Sussex
CPS as 'one of the most vocal' of protesters against the EDO MBM
warmongers in Brighton, faced bizarre allegations that he had conducted a
course of conduct amounting to the harassment of a well known Sussex
police officer.

EDO MBM were visited on Sunday as part of the two days of action
against the arms trade <a href="/en/2007/07/374814.html">called for</a> by
<a href="http://www.dsei.org">Disarm DSEi</a>. It was thought their
Brighton factory needed to be made secure from those who work there, so
D-locks were put on the gates and super glue was applied to the locks.
Additionally, it was thought that the building could do with some
redecoration and relabelling. So "EDO Kill for $" and "Stop the War
Machine" can now be read on the walls.Apparently others had had the
same idea (great minds think alike!) as there was already a D-lock on one
of the gates when people got there.

week the same protester had charges for a public order offence dropped
