Amelia's Magazine 10 January 2011

This next illustration is for a fascinating article on the Ratcliffe trial, and it has been my most challenging so far, as I was keen for my imagery to successfully portray the emotion and power of this important news story.

Ratcliffe Trial by Matilde Sazio

In April 2009 Amelia Gregory camped down for the night at Iona School in Nottingham, with a number of other climate activists, intending to head to Ratcliffe-on-Soar coal fired power station in the early hours of the following morning, to highlight the causes of climate change.  Amelia was one of 114 activists arrested at the school, when police swooped as they slept.  The article is Amelia's account of what happened, and how PC Mark Kennedy came to be unmasked as an undercover police agent.
