Overview

Below is an excerpt of the EN35 'Ritchie Clark' profile at the former URG wiki, last updated in April 2018. As the collected evidence did not provide a 100% certainty, the otherwise extensive profile only published his initials, and no pictures of him were added. It was only in December 2024, that the Inquiry published his covername and confirmed he had been an undercover.

An updated profile will appear in due course, after EN35 has given evidence in the Inquiry.  

RC is the alias of a suspected undercover officer active in the animal rights movement between 2002 and 2006. He was based in Bedford where he was a key figure in the local animal rights group Bedford Animal Action. He was also involved in prominent national campaigns, including Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC), and the SPEAK campaign against the animal testing laboratory under construction at Oxford University at the time.
