In brief

Protesters who claim police acted unlawfully when they held more than 1,000 people for over seven hours during a May Day protest, have lost their appeal. The Court of Appeal said police were within their rights to detain the  people in London’s Oxford Circus in 2001—even though they were left without food, drink or access to toilets.
