An “Occupy Rupert Murdoch” protest week is to be held outside News UK’s offices in London, culminating in a “people’s trial” of the media tycoon

The protesters said the Leveson Inquiry had shown that there had been widespread bullying of British politicians by the media for years and called for their draft “Occupy Charter for a Free Democratic Press” to be endorsed by David Cameron, Ed Miliband and other party leaders.

They plan to present a giant “arrest warrant” for Mr Murdoch, accusing him of crimes including phone-hacking, to News UK’s headquarters on 23 March. They are also protesting against the influence of the wealthy owners of the Mail, Telegraph and Express newspapers.
