Interactive online map of Smash EDO protest in Brighton
Weeks of intensive research have culminated in the launch of an online, interactive multimedia map. It documents events surrounding the Smash EDO demonstration in Brighton on October 15th. Clicking on markers brings up raw evidence, such as photography, eyewitness reports, and video footage.
The map makes for harrowing reading. It shows how police invoked anti-terror laws against suspected protesters. It also describes how one disabled observer was arrested and denied access to a doctor, and how peaceful protesters were attacked by police dogs.
I have many more pictures and videos from the EDO demo. if you would like them email lasthourssw@mail.com
Since release, the map has been updated with additional photos and video, including some suggested by ‘Help Dave’ above.
If you have any evidence you would like to share, you can contact me directly, at joshua.c.j@gmail.com. Josh Jones
I’ve now seen this format of media propagation used on the Guardian website:

Hopefully more and more people will take advantage of the ideas behind it.
