Police block hundreds of protesters during demo at site growing experimental GM wheat crop

  • Up to 400 people demonstrate at Rothamsted Institute in Hertfordshire
  • Protest group Take The Flour Back want to rip up experimental crops
  • Scientists say they threaten to destroy years of painstaking research
  • Emergency order granted by Home Office to ward off protestors

Police turned away hundreds of protesters yesterday at the site of a genetically modified crop experiment.

Officers prevented the activists from entering the field of chemically altered wheat, which they had planned to pull out of the ground.

Two men were arrested during the demonstration, which had been arranged to ‘decontaminate’ land being used by scientists trying to produce GM wheat that deters pests.

The trial’s opponents claim the crops could contaminate the surrounding environment, as the experiment is being carried out in the open air.
