One of Britain's most prominent campaigners alleging the existence of a Jewish paedophile network has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
Jeanette Archer, 54, has been arrested on suspicion of encouraging or assisting someone to commit suicide.
On January 23rd, Archer was arrested by Thames Valley Police with her boyfriend, Dominic Abbey, 40, on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. They had been driving up the M40 motorway to attend a protest they had organised at Waddesdon Manor, a Buckinghamshire country estate built by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild in the 19th century.
The protest that day saw around 100 people demonstrate in the grounds of Waddesdon, where speakers accused the Rothschild family of torturing and murdering children.
Thames Valley Police have not confirmed if the arrest of Archer and Abbey on suspicion of conspiracy to murder was connected to the Rothschild protest.
Archer, who lives in Cranleigh, was arrested again by Surrey Police on February 8th on suspicion of encouraging or assisting someone to commit suicide.
Her bodyguard Daniel Young, 39, who accompanies Archer at protests, was arrested with her at an address in Guildford. Police are understood to have confiscated their phones.
Archer, Abbey and Young have not been charged. They have been released on police bail pending further inquiries.
In a statement posted to her Facebook page after the first arrest, Archer denied wrongdoing and said the incident was based on "obviously a ridiculous accusation".
She additionally claimed that she will "step down" from activism. "For nearly 2 years I have shared and given you all the info that I can," she wrote. "Now I need to pass the baton."
