Policing the Protectors: A Narrative Report of PSNI Policing of Environmental Protest in the Sperrins
Authors: Committee on the Administration of Justice (CAJ)
Date of publication: August 2024
The issues recorded in this report relate to a series of interactions between the PSNI and a small group of environmental activists (who prefer to be known as “protectors”), specifically around the issue of goldmining in the Sperrin Mountains. The origin of the report lies in a request to CAJ from Friends of the Earth (FoE) to assist in examining police conduct in relation to the protectors.
