Victims of #spycops forced to turn to crowd-funding in order to participate in Undercover Policing Inquiry, while the state and police spend tens of millions: https://t.co/5ZenZRE1sE

A new article about women's experience of #spycops abuse hopefully reaching a different audience.

50 convictions quashed & more pending, so why has #spycops inquiry stopped saying it'll investigate?

@sukhdev_reel @copscampaign It is also clear from the N81 case that this spying on grieving families was authorised by those higher up who are equally culpable #spycops

[Pitchford Watcher @piwatcher1]

@sukhdev_reel @copscampaign Agreed. #spycops believed to have targeted many family justice campaigns and cannot see how that can is acceptable in a democratic society.

[Sukhdev Reel @sukhdev_reel]

@copscampaign @piwatcher1 The cops who targeted Ricky Reel's family need to be named We were subjected to personal scrutiny and they abused their power

[Pitchford Watcher @piwatcher1]

@bristolnoborder .and that seems to me a broader approach than Pitchford took with inevitable implications for secrecy as MPS can argue that for all #spycops

[Pitchford Watcher @piwatcher1]

@bristolnoborder Hard to present on twitter-yes Pitchford will have granted some of those order, but Mitting appears to take Art 8(2) into more consideration

[Pitchford Watcher @piwatcher1]

@bristolnoborder Not seeing it in those terms-agree anonymity likely, but Mitting showing greater tendency to accept police arguments than Pitchford #spycops

[COPS @copscampaign]

New #spycops inquiry Chair seems more concerned about cop secrecy than truth & justice: new from @piwatcher1 https://t.co/h2ft0UYtp6

[COPS @copscampaign]

@piwatcher1 Doreen Lawrence is clear; #spycops who targeted her family must be named. It's *the* make-or-break issue for victims https://t.co/MswQn8KExS

[Pitchford Watcher @piwatcher1]

New chair of #spycops inquiry moves to greater secrecy, angering those targeted. #Lawrence family spy may be hidden https://t.co/w8Zc3rpGfr

Damning article on slow and unsteady progress of #PitchfordInquiry which must hold the police to account for their crimes. https://t.co/u5YizRo6fy
