LRT activists have charges dropped from sit-in at Y&R's office

(Story from Precision Marketing:)

The three activists arrested following the invasion of Wunderman’s
offices have had all charges against them dropped.

The environmentalists, from direct action group London Rising Tide,
had been charged with "burglary of pens, paper and phone calls".

They were held after staging a four-hour sit-in over two of parent
agency Y&R’s key clients – Land Rover and BAE Systems.

The action was part of a worldwide campaign against climate change,
dubbed Fossil Fools Day. In the UK, the group also staged
demonstrations outside Porsche dealerships, the head office of E-on,
and a coal mine in Wales.

The three activists managed to get into the Y&R building –Greater
London House on Hampstead Road, NW1 – by posing as executives from a
newly-privatised wing of the MoD called HarrionProjects, a spoof
company whose centrepiece is the Harrion, a civilian version of the
Harrier Jump-Jet.

Once inside, they barricaded themselves into the conference room,
opposite Wunderman EMEA chief executive Marcus Starke’s office.
