Witnesses Say London Police Posed as G-20 Protesters


Riot police during protests against the G-20 summit in London on April 1.


Last month we wrote that a photographer in London had written to The Lede to say that he thought he had witnessed undercover police officers trying to incite protesters to violence during the Group of 20 summit in London. This week, The Guardian reports that Tom Brake, a Liberal Democrat M.P. who observed the protests has come forward to say that “he saw what he believed to be two plain-clothes police officers go through a police cordon after presenting their I.D. cards.”


The Guardian reported on Sunday that Mr. Brake plans “to call for an investigation into whether the police used agents provocateurs to incite the crowds.”
