Proposed squatting laws put on trial

Activists held a series of mock trials of squatters at the squatted Old Street magistrates court today to highlight the campaign against the goverment's plans to criminalise squatting in residential properties.
The court also heard testimony of the consequences to vulnerable people should the bill pass and fierce criticism of the consultation process that has excluded those who will be most affected.
