CND, spycops and the secret state

On Monday, 15 July, CND General Secretary Kate Hudson gave evidence at the ‘Spycops’ Undercover Policing Inquiry that is investigating decades of undercover policing work and its impact on individuals and organisations.

Kate was representing CND which is a ‘core participant’ in the Inquiry, owing to the fact that it was infiltrated by undercover police officers during the 1980s at the height of CND’s mass campaigning against cruise missiles. The session looked particularly at the use of undercover policing within CND and the wider anti-nuclear movement between 1983 and the early 1990s.

CND's legal team came from the Public Interest Law Centre (PILC), and the session unveiled “a clear and deeply alarming use of political undercover policing by the then Conservative government” and the “most explicit example of subverting parliamentary democracy uncovered” by the inquiry so far.

You can find links to a summary by PILC, CND's written statement to the UCPI, and a recording of Kate's testimony here.
