Police were made aware of people obstructing a coach which was parked outside a Best Western Hotel in Peckham, south-east London, on May 2 2024.
Two protesters allegedly tried to stop police taking away suspects after a coach due to transport asylum seekers to the Bibby Stockholm barge was obstructed, a court heard.
He said very early on he was informed by the company contracted by Border Force that they would no longer be moving the asylum seekers “as they did not want any negative publicity or whatever it was” and it “was not an enforced move”. The group was “three layers deep and fortified with push bikes and hire bikes that were abandoned in the road”, Mr Fulford added.
Cink and Barbe-Wilson were both arrested at about 3.15pm and the prosecution allege they were in the group blocking the movement of the police carriers that were seeking to transport suspects to custody, but the Crown could not say at which point the defendants entered the road.
