Sussex Action for Peace

In an internal professional misconduct investigation, led by the Assistant Chief Constable, Sussex Police have concluded that allegations against a local peace group contained in a letter from Chief Superintendent Kevin Moore published in The Argus last year were inaccurate but have controversially rejected the other complaints made against them.

The complaints, investigated internally by the police, were that 1) a letter published by the Argus on 26th August 2006 from Chief Superintendent Kevin Moore brought discredit upon the peace movement by branding them racist and anti-semitic and accused the march organisers of deliberately provoking and inciting the Jewish community in Brighton and 2) the same letter contained inaccurate information about the notice given for another earlier march and an alleged assault on a Jewish man during this march.

The investigation concluded that the letter did indeed contain inaccurate information concerning the notice given to the police by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) before the first march but unfortunately none of the other complaints were accepted.
