Hunt Sabs

The trial of two hunt sabs charged with violent disorder after a demo against the Criminal Justice Act at the Essex Foxhunt last November ended in humiliation for Essex police. The case against Ken Edmundson, was thrown out of court and the remaining defendant, Dale Johnson, was cleared of assault, but instead convicted of resisting arrest! Both men spent over a month in jail on remand as a result of these trumped-up charges. It was claimed they had attacked a police officer but it became clear that police had attacked sabs, including a woman who was beaten semiconscious. Claims of “mob broke cop’s arm” turned out to be a sprained wrist when someone fell over.

A new publication by Hunt Sabs, ‘Who’s Afraid of the CJA?’ shows that the Criminal Justice Act has been a disaster in the first season of its implementation. Contact Hunt Sabs: 0115 959 0357
