Since 1817 days since 2 June 2001, Brian Haw from Redditch in Worcestershire, lives in an anti-war camp on Parliament Square in London, opposite the British Parliament. A 40-meter-long wall of placards, signs, pictures, and collecting signatures, including two pictures of the infamous guerilla artist Banksy supports the peaceful one-man protest of the 56-year-old against the British and U.S. government policy of economic sanctions in Iraq and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
A 1 August 2005 introduced legislation ( Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 ) imposed restrictions on the 350-year-old right to peaceful protest in Parliament Square, a restricted area was set up within a quarter mile to the Palace of Westminster - and that was Brian Haw ' s grown wall action in recent years. Haw began his protest
However, before an appropriate Approval was required, and relied so that it applies to an exceptional situation. The British High Court gave him and his lawyer even quite , Haw, and so should continue to demonstrate peacefully.
What the police but never interested: exactly two years ago, in May 2004, British police officers removed the partitions and they threw on it a day completely destroyed on the sidewalk.
And yesterday again, about 50 British police officers stümten in a cloak-and-dagger operation "Camp" overwhelmed nine supporters of Brian Haw and tore down the wall action up to 3 feet, threw everything into a dumpster brought and arrested two of Brian Haw's supporters, who climbed into the container to save a couple of things. To this end, the police confiscated Mr. Haw's personal items, such as clothing, sleeping bag and the Bible of the Christian faithful.
has now announced Brian Haw to go on a hunger strike.
For now numerous demonstrations of various groups are planned.
And who just staying in London and adjusted accordingly: Parliament Square should be pretty easy to find - but beware: the website of Brian Haw's protest shall also indicate to which legal consequences participation a may have possible protest action.
