The trial of 11 protesters who staged a sit-in at Fortnum and Mason in London gets started today.
The anti-tax avoidance demonstrators were charged with aggravated trespass after entering the luxury department store on Piccadilly in March 2010 in a protest that was described by a senior police officer who attended the scene as ‘non-violent’ and ‘sensible.’
145 protesters originally participated in the demonstration but charges were only brought against 17 people, resulting in 11 facing trial today.
The trial takes place at City of Westminster Magistrates Court on Marylebone Road, London, between midday and 2pm.
