We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Compensate fully the innocent organisers of public events where police have achieved cancellation based on undisclosed 'intelligence received' regarding the potential criminal actions of parties unrelated to the event organiser. More details
Submitted by Ian Mutch of Motorcycle Action Group – Deadline to sign up by: 16 September 2009 – Signatures: 1,207
Last year two major public shows in Wales were closed in response to police insistence. Members of the public were denied their right to lawful assembly, traders in two Welsh towns lost business and the organiser of the shows now faces financial ruin. Parties affected by police action of this sort must have an effective means to challenge the police intervention, including the possibility of financial compensation for losses incurred.
