Below is an excerpt from a profile of HN26 'Christine Green' which was last updated in 2018. The full profile can be found here. https://powerbase.info/index.php/Christine_Green_(alias) The profile will be updated once The Inquiry hears evidence regarding HN26's deployment.
HN26 'Christine Green' was an undercover police officer who served with the Metropolitan Police's Special Demonstration Squad. She infiltrated animal rights groups in south and west London from early 1995 to late 1999 / early 2000,where she had succeeded the previous undercover officer, Andy "Van" Davey. Christine was active in hunt sabbing, London Animal Action and national grassroots campaigns.
She was arrested on least one occasion though charges were dropped. Her cover name was constructed rather than stolen from that of a deceased child, being the first example of this being done by SDS undercovers.She left the police after her deployment and started a long term relationship with an animal rights campaigner who had been active in one of the groups she had targeted, a relationship which appears to have continued to the present day (February 2018).
In October 2013, suspicions that Christine Green was an undercover were publicly circulated, only to be confirmed in late 2017, and publicly released by The Guardian and the Undercover Research Group in February 2018.
Two days later, the Undercover Policing Inquiry confirmed Christine had been a SDS undercover police officer, noting she was the person they had been referred to by the cipher 'HN26', while the Metropolitan Police made an unusual and rare public apology to Hampshire Police over a 1998 raid by the Animal Liberation Front on a mink farm. In the apology it admitted Christine Green had been a police officer and despite the large investigation, Metropolitan Police Special Branch had withheld the crucial information. This in turn, caused Christine Green to come forward to The Guardian to make her own statement, highly critical of the Metropolitan Police's apology in the way it named her, among other things.
