Far-right activists have published a photograph taken outside NUJ conference on the website “Redwatch” this afternoon.
NUJ student member David Hedges had taken the photograph as part of the coverage of conference.
Mr Hedges said: “I’m outraged at the fact not just that somebody has used this without my permission but also in a manner which I feel very uncomfortable with. This is just terrible.”
“Redwatch” has been run for a number of years for the purpose of collecting personal data on suspected left-wing activists.
Extreme right-wingers, such as those associated with the British Peoples Party are reputed to use this information for the purpose of harassment and physical violence.
