BREAKING: Police make 14 arrests after Animal Rebellion campaigners stage sit-in protest at Mana restaurant
Police made 14 arrests after Animal Rebellion campaigners staged a sit-in protest at one of Manchester's top restaurants. Officers were called to Mana, in Ancoats, just after 7pm on Saturday as supporters of the animal and climate justice movement entered the restaurant and occupied tables reserved for customers.
Supt Ian Jones said: "Though this wasn't a large-scale protest, we understand it caused some disruption in and around the area of Blossom Street last night so would like to thank members of the public and businesses for their patience whilst we responded to the incident in the most appropriate way. "It is, however, our responsibility to prevent and investigate crime, and keep people safe. In this case, and following engagement attempts, the most appropriate course of action was to make arrests."
