Media lose hunt rally legal bidStaff and agencies
Thursday July 14, 2005
News organisations today failed in their high court bid to overturn an order to hand over pictures of last year's pro-hunt rally in Parliament Square.Guardian Newspapers, ITV, ITN, Associated Newspapers and Reuters challenged an earlier court order requiring them to hand over cine film, video tape, photographs and negatives of the demonstration.
The order was obtained in March by the Independent Police Complaints Commission, which is investigating allegations of police violence against demonstrators.
Media organisations were ordered to release all rally footage shot between 1pm and 7pm on September 15, 2004, whether or not it was transmitted or published.
Some organisations complied with the order but others did not."
