Heathrow operator BAA is going to the High Court…to prevent a major protest at the airport from taking place. BAA wants to ban the Camp for Climate Action demonstration planned at Heathrow from August 14 to 21. The company says it wants to protect the airport and the safety of passengers and staff "against the planned direct action by environmental activists"…Friends of the Earth's lawyer Gita Parihar said: "This is an unnecessary and unworkable request by Heathrow Airport and we are confident it will be thrown out of court. We believe people have the right to protest peacefully about issues which concern them such as climate change." A BAA Heathrow spokesman said: “[the] injunction [was] to protect the operation of the airport and the safety of passengers and staff".
