UK Police 'use draconian bail power to stifle protesters'
Since 2008, almost 800 people have been arrested, bailed and banned
from public demonstrations in the days before they were due to take
place.
After the protests finished, more than eight out of ten of them were then released without being charged for any crime.
Greater Manchester police gave
post-charge protest bans to 250 people involved in the Barton Moss
anti-fracking demonstration. Pictured: A protester arrested at Barton
