Summary
A Manchester cafe owner claims police offered him cash and immunity from minor charges in exchange for spying on Palestine Action—just days after he was arrested under terrorism laws. Two officers allegedly approached him at a station, returned his confiscated devices, and hinted at protecting him and his family if he cooperated. He rejected the offer, fearing retaliation, and his lawyers are now filing complaints, comparing the tactics to those used during the Troubles. Police have declined to comment.
