Early life

Arrests and convictions

On 1 May 2007, after a series of raids involving 700 police officers in England, Amsterdam, and Belgium, 32 people linked to SHAC were arrested, including Avery and Dellemagne, who were charged with conspiracy to blackmail in connection with the SHAC campaign.[3][4][5]

He was also served with an indefinite ASBO, restricting his future contact with companies targeted in the campaign.[6]
