Bristol IMC here republish the feature from Nottingham Indymedia collective regarding the outing of Mark Kennedy as a undercover police officer.

Mark Kennedy

The Notts Indymedia collective can confirm that the following information is correct: Mark Kennedy, also known as Mark 'Stone' has been working as an undercover police officer from 2000 to at least the end of 2009. During this period he has been actively involved in various environmental, animal rights, anticapitalist and antifascist groups and campaigns. He lived in Nottingham and was a well-known face in the local activist community. At this moment it is unclear whether Mark is still a serving police officer. Investigations into his identity revealed evidence that he has been a police officer and a face-to-face confession has confirmed this. Mark claims that he left the police force in late 2009 and that before becoming an undercover officer he was a Metropolitan police constable. The people involved in confronting Mark and getting his confession from him make clear that for security reasons no more information can be made public at this stage.
