UK: Campaign Opposing Police Surveillance: We Are All Targets Now

06 May 2015

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

"The political police’s choice of who it is reasonable to spy on includes anyone who is politically active, anyone who is related to them, anyone who attends an event at which they’re present. The construction blacklist proves that this is not mere background gathering of information in case it becomes useful. The political policing units have actively broken the law to help ensure their targets are denied work, deliberately inflicting the impacts that has on a person and their family. They are there to disrupt the activities and lives of those they spy on, and that can be anyone."
