Nine women, aged between 20 and 64, have launched legal action against the Metropolitan Police after being arrested for allegedly planning to disrupt the King’s coronation. The group, associated with Animal Rising, attended a non-violent workshop five miles from the event site in May 2023. They claim they were wrongly suspected of links to Just Stop Oil and subjected to full-body searches, spending up to 14 hours in custody. Legal representatives assert there was no intelligence connecting them to the protest group, highlighting psychological impacts including panic attacks and anxiety. The Met Police denies wrongdoing, while campaigners describe the experience as humiliating and dehumanizing. The case underscores tensions between civil disobedience and law enforcement during major public events.
