Großbritannien Schlaf geht in einen Polizei-Zustand, da politische Meinungsverschiedenheit Criminalised ist
Montag, den 20. April 2009
Julie Hyland schreibt: ? Aus regelwidrigen Briefen entsteht endlose Tragödie? die Weltsozialistische Web site schrieb und kommentierte die Zustanddurchführung des unschuldigen brasilianischen Arbeiters, Jean Charles de Menezes, durch Zivilkleidungpolizisten auf eine London Untergrundbahn am 22. Juli 2005. Fälle haben tragisch diese Warnung bestätigt. In den Jahren seit Menezes? das Töten, das niemand überhaupt gehalten worden ist, um zu erklären, der Gesetzesrahmen eines Polizeizustandes ist in Großbritannien verordnet worden. Die Implikationen von diesem sind klar über den letzten Wochen gebildet worden. Da der Anfang von April, einige 300 Leute in gerade drei Polizeibetrieben festgehalten worden und zurückgehalten worden sind. Die beträchtliche Mehrheit einen diesen wurden oben in zwei dieser Betriebe, beide gerundet, die auf eine angenommene Drohung zu konzentrieren? allgemeiner Auftrag?. Beibehaltener allgemeiner Auftrag ist jetzt ein Pseudonym für das Criminalising der politischen Meinungsverschiedenheit. Sogar bevor das Gipfel G20 der Weltführer in London anfing, wurden fünf Leute in Plymouth unter der Terrorismus-Tat festgehalten, angeblich beschuldigt vom Besitzen? Material in bezug auf ist politische Ideologie?. Alle wurden ohne Aufladung freigegeben, aber die Tatsache, daß politischen Aktivismus als eine kriminelle Handlung im 21. Jahrhundert Großbritannien gilt, war nachher der Writ, der auf den Straßen des Kapitals groß ist. Anfangen1. April, wurde ein massiver Polizeibetrieb an der richtigen Stelle um das Gipfel G20 eingestellt. Die Hunderte Leute, ihr Recht erlaubterweise ausübend zu protestieren, waren? kettled?? gewaltsam gehalten hinter Polizeischnüren bis sieben Stunden lang? in den seitlichen Straßen von zentralem London. Es war hinter einer dieser Schnüre dieses Ian Tomlinson? Versuchen, seine Weise Haupt zu bilden nach Arbeit? wurde von hinten von einem baton-ausübenden verdeckten Polizeioffizier angegriffen. Er starb Momente später. Augenzeuge erklärt, videogesamtlänge und Fotostille liefern abschließenden Beweis, der die Polizei? s Angriff gegen Tomlinson war für den Kurs während der Proteste durchschnittlich. Die Polizeitätigkeiten hatten nichts, mit dem Sicherstellen zu tun? allgemeine Sicherheit?. Wenn alles, sie einen überlegten Versuch festsetzte, Störung als der Vorwand für weitere Unterdrückung zu erregen. Dieses wird durch Beweis der Zivilkleidungoffiziere unterstrichen, die mit den Batons bewaffnet werden, die heraus an den Demonstrationsmodellen, sowie die Teilnahme des territorialen Stützungskonsortiums anschlagen? eine spezielle quasi-paramilitärische Polizeimaßeinheit, die in mehrere der publizierten Ereignisse miteinbezogen wurden und deren Kennummern verborgen wurden. Downloads of film footage of the police in action at the G20 protests is said to be particularly high in Brazil?Menezes? birthplace, and a country bitterly familiar with police savagery against political dissidents. For good reason, the government attempted to ensure that its ?public order? policy would not see the light of day. While police now routinely photograph and demand the identification and addresses of people taking part in lawful demonstrations, watching the watchers is illegal in New Labour?s Orwellian dystopia. Less than one month before the protests, section 76 of the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 came into force, providing for the arrest and imprisonment of anyone taking photographs of police officers. In one instance during the G20 protests, recorded on camera, police officers instructed photographers and news crews to leave the vicinity within 30 minutes or face arrest. This in a country whose population is now one of the most heavily surveilled in the world. The UK has the greatest concentration of closed circuit TV cameras per head of population. Moreover, without any parliamentary debate let alone public consent, recent legislation has compelled all Internet service providers to retain data from emails and website visits for up to one year. Details of phone calls and text messages can be similarly stored, and made available to the government and other official agencies. As if such powers were not enough for police to be aware of the movements of any potentially ?significant? individuals, on April 13, police in Nottingham carried out the unprecedented ?pre-emptive? arrests of 114 people. No crime had been committed. The arrests were made purely on the basis that the police ?suspected? a plan by environmentalists to target a power station in Nottingham. While no charges have as yet been made, the arrests were used to mount a trawling operation, raiding homes and seizing personal papers and computers. In between the London and Nottingham operations, police in the north-west of England mounted major ?anti-terror? raids, involving dozens of armed officers. Twelve men, mainly foreign students, were detained as part of what was claimed to be an operation against an imminent terrorist attack. Once again no charges have been made. Under British anti-terror laws, suspects can be held for 28 days without charge. It is widely reported that no evidence has so far been recovered to substantiate claims of a terrorist emergency. All the recent police operations are predicated on the more than 200 pieces of separate anti-terror legislation enacted by the Labour government over the last years, and consolidated in the Terrorism Act 2006 which criminalises the mere expression of opinion deemed unacceptable by the Home Secretary. At the time, then Prime Minister Tony Blair defended the measures on the grounds that political exigencies meant the ?rules of the game? had changed. This established a new legal principle?guilty on the say-so of the powers-that-be. The ?rules? now in operation are those where armed police swoops and the targeting of political dissent is a matter of routine. In February this year, in a move which received barely any coverage, the Association of Chief Police Officers set up the Confidential Intelligence Unit, targeted at ?domestic extremists?. Assuming the ?counter-subversion? functions usually conducted by MI5, the CIU is dedicated to the surveillance of radical groups, including placing informers amongst their numbers. The assault on civil liberties is not specific to Britain. It is a tendency evidenced throughout the so-called ?advanced democracies?. Indeed proclamations of ?democracy? increasingly function as a thin veneer, behind which the state has abrogated to itself near autocratic powers. That this finds no principled opposition from within the ruling establishment or its liberal ?critics? must serve as a warning. The essential driving force behind the adoption of such dictatorial methods is not the maintenance of ?public order?, but the need to defend the existing order, preserving the wealth and power of a privileged few at the expense of working people under conditions of the greatest breakdown in the world capitalist economy since the 1930s. The defence of democratic rights requires breaking the monopoly of the financial oligarchy and its representatives over political life. This can only be achieved through the independent initiative of the working class, fighting for the reorganisation of society on a socialist basis.
