"We said all along that we had no intention of stopping people going on holiday," a camp spokeswoman said. "We have been peaceful at every point. The police have over-responded at every point and we have been continually smeared as potential terrorists."
One man said he was attacked in the field between the camp and the BAA building. Mike Hill, 25, a nursing assistant from Reading, had a bloody nose after clashing with police.
"I was walking along with the group when a lot of riot police rushed up and I got pushed to the ground and kicked in the face. I couldn't see their faces because they were wearing balaclavas and helmets, but I am definitely going to file a complaint with the Independent Police Complaints Commission," he said.
