This is what his boss said after the original trial:

In a statement before the sentencing, Wiltshire police's assistant chief constable Patrick Geenty said: "We are very concerned when anyone is injured in our custody and the court has decided that this injury was as a result of a criminal assault by Sergeant Mark Andrews, a member of Wiltshire police who was performing duty as a custody sergeant at the time.

A UN Human Rights Council report, published this week, tells the truth of what happened on Monday 31st May 2010 when Israeli commandoes attacked the Gaza aid-ship the Mavi Marmara killing nine and wounding dozens.

It states:-
The Israeli blockade of Gaza is illegal due to the scale of the humanitarian crisis
People on the flotilla were genuinely committed to peace & humanitarianism
It was unlawful for Israel to intercept the Mavi Marmara on the high seas
There was no evidence that any firearms were taken on board the ship
There was no evidence of live fire being used by passengers
The IDF action was totally unnecessary and incredibly violent
Live ammunition was used from the helicopter prior to the descent of soldiers
Forensic evidence shows two passengers, Dogan & Bilgen, were shot at close range
Four passengers including a photographer, on a lower deck, were shot dead from the upper deck, while posing no threat to the Israeli forces.
Passengers used a white flag to indicate surrender but this had no effect on the firing
The seizure and retention of private property from the passengers was unlawful
It accused Israel of war crimes and breeches of International law

Palestine campaigners protested outside the BBC in Bristol on Saturday 21st August. They chanted and booed the BBC building, waved flags, and leafleted passers-by. The group also staged a “street-theatre” re-enactment of the deaths of the nine Turkish aid-workers onboard the Mavi Marmara. The protest lasted over two hours and was very visible to pedestrians, shoppers, and passing traffic. read full story / add a comment

Shoppers at the main Waitrose supermarket, in Bristol (UK), were greeted by Palestine campaigners this Saturday (14th August). Protesters were handing out leaflets for the Boycott-Israeli Goods campaign. Store management and security were very jumpy. Perhaps guilty they hadn’t replied to campaigner’s letters pointing out that stocking Israeli goods was a contradiction of their “Responsible Sourcing” policy. Or more likely that Waitrose had never experienced a demonstration in their tranquil Henlease suburb. Several police were in attendance, including a support vehicle and for a while a riot van. A considerable number of shoppers expressed support for Palestine and the Boycott campaign. One even joined the protest group. read full story / add a comment
