A.B. was accused of "smuggling" or "boat driving". Despite a video showing him as a passenger, he waited five years for his trial, with a potential 60 year sentence looming over him. We are relieved by yesterday's decision, but will continue fighting against criminalization of people on the move.
"Today, the court issued a fair judgement. One that should have come 5 years ago. Thank you to the lawyers at Legal Centre Lesvos for standing with me all these years," A.B. following his acquittal.
"Particularly striking was the testimony of the Greek Coast Guard who suddenly 'remembered' being on the beach and saw our client driving the boat - a detail that was missing from his previous statements. Fortunately the court saw through his lies" - lesboslegal lawyer V. Aggelidou
Two other "boat driver" cases were tried in #Mytilene yesterday. The two defendants were convicted and sentenced to over 100 years each. These convictions are a stark reminder that A.B.'s acquittal is the exception rather than the rule. #Criminalisation of #migration must end!

Australia leads the world in arresting climate and environment protesters
Criminalisation and Repression of Climate and Environmental Protests

"More than 20 per cent of all climate and environment protests in Australia involve arrests, which is more than three times the global average (6.3 per cent)...Australia's arrest rate was the highest of 14 countries in the global study.It's higher than policing efforts in the United Kingdom (17.2 per cent), Norway (14.5 per cent), and the United States (10 per cent)." >>

"Australia's political leaders have joined the "rapid escalation" of efforts to criminalise and repress climate and environmental protest."

The Global Warning Report: The Threat to Climate Defenders in Australia
"That EDO report warned of "a worrying proliferation of anti-protest legislation in Australia," The "systemic repression faced by climate activists across the country," and the "unregulated political influence of the fossil fuel industry driving that repression." >>

"Criminaliser la solidarité : un an de répression en France du mouvement pro-palestinien"

Par l’Agence Média Palestine : agencemediapalestine.fr/blog/2

Agence Media PalestineCriminaliser la solidarité : un an de répression en France du mouvement pro-palestinien - Agence Media PalestineEn février dernier, la rapporteuse spéciale de l’ONU sur la situation des droits de l’homme dans les territoires palestiniens occupés depuis 1967, Francesca Albanese, s’était attiré de nombreuses critiques en France pour avoir simplement rappelé le contexte colonial dans lequel s’inscrivent les attaques du 7 octobre 2023, tout en déplorant…

"The idea that witnessing a certain kind of human sexuality is inherently traumatizing in a way that lack of healthcare, incarceration, or white supremacy is not has recycled and reinforced rhetoric used to criminalize queer people…"—David Davis >

№ 17: Tony Kevin's "A Certain Maritime Incident".

Last year as I worked on an essay about people smuggling's , I learnt about the SIEV X sinking.

Whoa.

To me it seems that Australia's such an arsehole to seekers because of its allegiance to the instigators (e.g., the US). The damning representation of people smugglers and the ostensible rationale of preventing deaths at sea never did sit well with me. Now I see we're still actively imperialists.

Front cover of the above-mentioned book. The design suggests that the government kept secret substantial information about the incident. For the curious: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/siev-x-anniversary-cover-up-claims-remain-20-years-after-353-asylum-seekers-drowned/2o91e7enq

Spewin' that this draft shows inconsistent spelling conventions. UK spelling is generally regarded as correct here in Aus and is my default yet most academic disciplines prefer US, which I sometimes forget to shift into before the final draft.

"The 2022 policing law was drafted soon after an influential right-wing think tank called Policy Exchange, which has in the past received funding from ExxonMobil, outlined XR’s protest tactics and called for the criminalization of the group, in a report that heavily influenced the new laws."

“The ‘disturbance’ of the festivities and the positive image the municipality wanted to project had to be neutralized and rendered harmless.”

Doorbraak.eu · Leiden Canal Pride – How Stone-Cold Municipal Bureaucracy Led to Violence Against Queer Activists | Doorbraak.euOn Saturday, September 2nd of last year, during Leiden Pride, queer activists were driven away and enclosed in the morning, and beaten by the police in the afternoon. The following week, the mayor lied about this in the city council, where five people spoke out about the police violence. This prompted Leiden activists, including those from Doorbraak who were present
