A controversial police operation to "kettle" protesters in London has been judged lawful by the European court of human rights, which ruled on Thursday that the containment was the "least intrusive and most effective" tactic available to officers.

However, in a majority 14 to three vote that endorsed the decisions made by the Met in the case, the court held that an original 2005 high court finding in favour of the force still stood. "The court finds no reason to depart from the judge's [2005] conclusion that in the circumstances the imposition of an absolute cordon was the least intrusive and most effective means to be applied," the ruling said.
