In the last two years, details of undercover police pretending to be activists have
slowly emerged. A new book by Paul Lewis and Rob Evans, Undercover: The True Story
of Britain's Secret Police http://www.guardianbookshop.co.uk ,
provides the latest information about police sleeping with activist women while
pretending to be someone else. Since it is obvious that the women would never have consented if they had known there were police officers, does this constitute rape? Also officers using the names of dead children. The
case that has outraged the public and led to promises of political action has been
the revelation that police spied on the Stephen Lawrence campaign.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/jun/23/stephen-lawrence-undercover-police-smears Donnacha from Circled "A" Radio, talks to veteran activist Ellenor Hutson, who knew some of the police spies
in their activist cover, about what's happened and what should happen next.
