Black Lives Matter protests
Police have apologised to four people who were handed Covid-19 fines for staging a protest outside a court hearing relating to the toppling of a statue of slave trader Edward Colston.
Avon and Somerset Police admitted they had “misinterpreted the regulations” and that fines handed to Rowland Dye, 68, Taus Larsen, 43, Ros Martin, 60, and Paula Richardson, 61, were “unlawful”.
The four were arrested outside Bristol Magistrates’ Court on January 25 this year and issued with fixed penalty notices (FPNs).
In a statement issued on Thursday, the force said at the time, when England was in lockdown, it believed all forms of in-person protest were illegal.
