Lead Convenor of Democracy Hub, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, has explained the rationale behind his decision to remove the ignition key of a police towing truck during the recent #ReOccupyJulorbiHouse protest.
According to the activist, who was subsequently arrested and charged by the police for his actions during the protest, his aim was to prevent the truck from causing injury to some protesters in the attempt by the police to tow away a truck containing humanitarian supplies for the protest. "One of the things is that we brought a little van that has all our equipment inside.
It has water, placards, medicine, food, and a public address system.
The vehicle had just come and was parked under a tree.
