The conspiracy trials against editors of Green Anarchist (GA) and the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) magazine finally collapsed on Wednesday. Paul Rogers co-editor of GA and Robin Webb from the ALF had their charges dropped, leaving Hampshire constabularly with serious egg on their face with an estimated bill fast approaching #10 million spent during the four and a half years of Operation Washington. Six people had originally been charged with 'conspiring to incite persons unknown on unspecified dates over a five year period to commit unspecified criminal damage'!- for basically reporting the facts about direct action. Three editors of GA were found guilty and each given three year sentences. However they were released after serving just three months and their convictions quashed (SchNEWS 161) Robin Webb told SchNEWS " I'm delighted at what the National Union of Journalists refered to as 'an extreme vendetta against me by Hampshire Police' has finally come to an end."
