Crowds of protesters gathered outside Liverpool's criminal court buildings this morning to protest against the appearance of two anti-arms fair activists.
The large crowd gathered to support two activists who protested against the AOC Electronic Warfare event, held at the ACC Centre in October last year. The controversial event was the cause of major protests at the time around Liverpool's waterfront, which required a huge police presence.
The two activists, Sue Ferguson and Ruth Knox, appeared at Liverpool and Knowsley Magistrates Court this morning over an alleged a spray paint protest in October. Images taken this morning showed protesters gathered on the steps of the court building in Derby Square in the city centre.
