The ‘I’m a photographer not a terrorist’ campaign group (also know as PHNAT) is planning a ‘mass photo gathering’ at 12pm on 23 January, in Trafalgar Square, in an attempt to defend street photography. The group says:
The use of Stop & Search without grounds for suspicion has been ruled illegal by European Court of Human Rights. This ruling from Strasbourg comes as thousands of photographers are set to gather in London on Saturday 23rd January to take mass action to defend their right to photograph after a series of high profile detentions under Section 44 of the Terrorism Act.
