Student riot case to be heard in Kingston

Following the recent student riots over increased annual fees, a number of defendants will be facing charges for their actions at a local protest. Each of their individual cases will be heard at Kingston Crown Court.

The court, which is renowned for dealing with high-profile terror cases, will hear cases for about 150 defendants who are linked to the protests. It is thought Kingston was selected for the size of its court rooms, not for security reasons.
