AR-News: (UK) Drugs firm granted protection from protesters

[Animalconcerns]

UK-based employees of a global pharmaceutical company have won a High
Court injunction to protect them from harassment by animal rights protesters.

The order, granted by a judge in London, covers around 900 employees of
the Chiron Corporation and places exclusion zones around their homes and
company premises.
...
At an earlier hearing he told another judge that employees of Huntingdon
Life Sciences, which has research centres in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk,
had been the subject of a campaign targeted against them by the
organisation Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (Shac).
...
Shac was not represented at today's hearing, when an injunction was
granted to John Lambert, a director of the Chiron Corporation, but the
judge limited the order to four weeks "to see whether or not the
defendants wish to respond".
