SIXTEEN fathers’ rights activists were in police custody last night after another day of protests at a court building.
The protests took place outside Bristol’s crown and county courts where the man responsible for the "Batman" security breach at Buckingham Palace attended a hearing for a bitter custody battle.
Jason Hatch, who staged a five-hour protest at the palace last week, pledged to return to his campaign of scaling buildings.
Dressed in a suit over a Batman top, the 32-year-old from Cheltenham warned that he was already hatching another "conniving plan" and said his custody battle with his ex-wife had not been resolved at the hearing an1d he still had no contact with his children.
Among those detained outside the courts for offences including aggravated
trespass were 60-year-old grandmother Carmen Taylor, Fathers 4 Justice founder Matt O’Connor, and four supporters who staged a rooftop protest at the court which only ended when they came down in the evening.
Yesterday morning, a skirmish erupted between police and about 20 Fathers 4 Justice campaigners when one protester was refused entry to Bristol County Court.
