<p>The undercover policeman who controversially posed as an environmental activist has broken his silence to describe how his life has become a &#8220;living nightmare&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mark Kennedy told The Mail on Sunday he has escaped to the United States amid fears for his safety.</p>
<p>His secret role was revealed earlier this week when a trial of six people accused of planning to invade Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station collapsed as prosecutors dropped the charges.</p>
<p>The protesters&#8217; legal team claimed the decision was made after Mr Kennedy, a former Metropolitan Police officer who infiltrated the group in the guise of a long-haired climber called Mark Stone, offered to give evidence on their behalf.</p>
<p>In an extensive interview with the newspaper, Mr Kennedy said he believed tape recordings secretly made by him were withheld from the court by police for fear it would destroy the prosecution&#8217;s case.</p>
<p>He told the paper: &#8220;The truth of the matter is that the tapes clearly show that the six defendants who were due to go on trial had not joined any conspiracy. The tapes I made meant that the police couldn&#8217;t prove their case.&#8221;</p>
<p>But the 41-year-old, shown in photographs to have cropped his long hair, denied &#8220;going rogue&#8221; and siding with the protesters.</p>
<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t sleep,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I have lost weight and am constantly on edge. I barricade the door with chairs at night. I am in genuine fear for my life. I have been told by activists to watch my back as people are out to get me.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said officers knew of his movements at all times and that he kept police &#8220;a step ahead of the game&#8221; during planned protests. He said BlackBerry had a tracking device and added: &#8220;I had a cover officer whom I spoke to numerous times a day.</p>
<p>He admitted succumbing to &#8220;a sort of Stockholm syndrome&#8221; but said he &#8220;never lost sight of his work&#8221;.</p>
