Angry father wrestled from court rooftop

An angry father has been wrestled down from a court rooftop by security while protesting for fathers' rights.

Roger Crawford, of Shefford Road, Meppershall, climbed on to the first floor roof of the family court in Oxford on Wednesday.

He was trying to climb on to the second floor rooftop, to protest against the court system, which he said has denied him reasonable access to his daughter for 15 years, but was stopped by security.


Mr Crawford, who is a member of New Fathers 4 Justice, said: "I have been through the courts to try to get access to my daughter, but I am allowed no contact with her when I have done nothing wrong."
