Nine women were held for up to 14 hours on suspicion of plotting to disrupt King Charles III's coronation are suing the Metropolitan Police, claiming they were wrongly linked to Just Stop Oil and subjected to 'humiliating' treatment during what they say was an unconnected animal rights workshop.
The women, aged between 20 and 64, were detained on the morning of the coronation in May 2023 while attending a training session run by the campaign group Animal Rising, roughly five miles from the ceremony in central London.
