More Syria-related police raids but no evidence of threat to UK
Written by CP Editor Thursday, 13 February 2014
(London) CAGE is concerned by the disproportionate response of UK police following the alleged death of Abdul Waheed Majid in Syria. Despite the lack of verification and the fact that a family and community are mourning the loss, the response of the local police has been to swamp the locality and carry out dawn raids on various families. A further three raids this morning indicates that the police are attempting to use the incident as an opportunity to intimidate a besieged community, hunt for suspects when there has been no crime and tarnish the reputation of local activists.
From the Ecuadorian embassy in London, Julian Assange sent a stirring video message to supporters in which he denounced the government’s counter-terrorism programme, PREVENT as a 'modern system of making people into informants.'
