South Africa: Police accused of harassment

Lobby group Jubilee SA has accused Johannesburg police of harassing its demonstrators outside the Barclays head office in Sandton on Friday. "Jubilee SA demonstrators had been peacefully voicing their dissent of the Barclays-ABSA deal - within the bounds of the Gathering Act - for over 45 minutes, when a police van drove up to the demonstration with its siren wailing," said Tristen Taylor, spokesperson for the organisation.
