Lancs Nanas petition to UK Parliament: Revoke charges/fines/outstanding cases against anti-fracking protest & apologise

Disability News Service photo illustrating police handling of disabled anti-fracking protestors

Blogger Alan notes: My use of the above photo might be argued by some as unduly provocative, but I would argue that there are some in authority who do not want Parliament to debate the policing of anti-fracking demonstrations that Tina Louise Rothery's petition to UK Parliament is about.

Tina Louise Rothery has written:

My petition:

Revoke charges/fines/outstanding cases against anti-fracking protest & apologise

For nearly a decade residents throughout UK campaigned against fracking. The government promoted, encouraged, financed & marketed a 'Dash for Gas' based on inadequate research that meant our communities were vulnerable to harm. Used as guinea pigs, then treated as criminals when we objected.

Hundreds of arrests, fines, records & outstanding court cases MUST BE OVERTURNED; our bodies were harmed by police during peaceful protest; arrests, fines, jail time & criminal records followed.

We want an apology for anguish, suffering & time stolen from people who simply wanted to protect their families. Government has now admitted we were right - they cannot safely frack for shale gas without risking uncontrollable/unpredictable seismic activity. We are not and never have been criminals.

And so I, Alan, clicked on that link, and present the response I received from UK Parliament Petitions that greeted me:

It reads:

Who will police the police and those who use such stalling tactics against the restoration of justice?
