Jury clears ‘Brook House three’ of public nuisance charges over non-violent protest near Gatwick

Three activists who lay on a road outside an immigration detention centre to prevent people being put on a Home Office deportation flight to Jamaica have been cleared by a jury of charges of causing a public nuisance.

The acquittal at Lewes crown court was hailed by the defendants at a time when the right to non-violent protest is under unprecedented threat.
