AN ANTI-APARTHEID campaign led by future Labour peer Peter Hain was targeted by spycops because it was considered to pose a “huge” risk of violence and public disorder, the Undercover Policing Inquiry heard today.
The Stop the ’70 Tour (STST) was founded in 1969 to stop tours by the all-white South African rugby and cricket teams.
The campaign, led by a 19-year-old Mr Hain, involved protesters peacefully rushing the pitch and handcuffing themselves to goalposts to disrupt sports matches.
