Police have apologised and paid substantial damages to the group who were fined for a court protest in support of four people charged over toppling of Edward Colston statue.
Retired teacher Rowland Dye, 68, gardener Paula Richardson, 61, artist Rosalind Martin, 60, and architect Taus Larsen, 43, all turned up outside Bristol Magistrates Court in January despite England being under stay-at-home coronavirus lockdown restrictions.
They had gathered ahead of the first court appearance of four people charged with the criminal damage to the statue of slave trader Edward Colston back in June last year.
The protestors had all been spoken to separately by police officers and had been asked to leave - which they agreed to do.
