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.
