On 2 June, two campaigners from Stop G4S climbed onto the roof of security company G4S near Crawley, West Sussex, displaying two banners. One read: ‘G4S – Profiting from: Israeli Apartheid, Prison Slavery, Deadly Deportations’.
The duo secured themselves with superglue and bike-locks, while another dozen protesters surrounded the building, shouting slogan and holding anti-G4S placards.
The occupiers were charged with ‘aggravated trespass’ under the 1994 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act, and bailed to appear before Horsham and Haywards Heath magistrates’ court on 3-4 December.
