Britain - the fascist, racist state
Freedom lover | 12.12.2003 11:17
It seems that under the "terrorism act", the police and government can do what it wants to anybody and get away with it. From silencing critics of war by imprisoning them, to torturing British Muslims and rounding them up into concentration camps, the threat of "terrorism" has been very useful to the British government. With the news from France being that it is banning women from wearing headscarves (so much for womens rights), seems this is a bleak time for the human race.

Arrested Muslim says he was terrorised by police
One of the Muslims arrested in the recent wave of police raid across Britain
says that he and his family were terrorised by police, who also insulted his
religion, reports The Muslim News exclusively.
In a written testimony obtained by The Muslim News, the 29-year old British
Muslim of Pakistani descent gives a harrowing tale of being allegedly tortured
after some 15 armed police officers dressed in riot gear broke down his front
door in south London in the early hours of December 2 at 5 am. “The account
below was my reward for being ‘British’ and obeying the law of the land for my
entire life,” he said.
In an exclusive interview with the paper, he and his wife also confirmed that
immediately after his house was raided that he was allegedly continually beaten
by six or seven officers in his bedroom. “Within the space of a few seconds,
they must have hit me about 30 times on my head and 20 times on the rest of the
body.” It was only after the initial assault, he said that he was asked to
confirm his name and then told he was under arrest under the Terrorism Act 2000,
accused of the Commission, Preparation or Instigation of an Act or Acts of
Terror. He subsequently learnt that not only him but also his wife, who is a
teacher, was handcuffed even though her name was not on the warrant.
It was when he was eventually taken downstairs that he was mocked for being a
Muslim, when he was made to kneel in a prostate position. “They then all began
to laugh at me whilst I was in that position and say, ‘Where is your God now?
Pray to Him! You’re in prayer now!’ They were sneering and laughing.” His
beatings continued while he was made to lie down when he was being taken in a
van to Charing Cross police station.
His lawyers have both video and still footage of his injuries taken on the day
of his arrest. A detailed report from an independent doctor within 48 hours also
confirmed such injuries as “severe bruising” to the whole body, especially the
head, wrist, face, knees and legs, black eye and cuts, a possible perforated
ear-drum with visible blood inside the canal, bruising to kidneys which gave
traces of blood in urine for three days after the assault, possibly fractured
cheek bone and possibly fractured ribs. Spokesperson of the Metropolitan Police
Special Forces told The Muslim News, “A formel complaint has been received and
it is being considered.”
The Muslim News has also learnt that the wife of his brother, who was arrested
at the same time, had a miscarriage while her husband was being held. She was
six weeks pregnant and her brother-in-law said that she was so traumatised at
the arrest of her husband, during which she and her two young children,
including one 18 months old, were kept in a van at the time of arrest. She later
bled profusely and lost her baby within days.

Also, theres no way anyone would get away with beating the crap into someone, as complaints are taken very seriously and officers are suspended while things are investigated. Do you really think anyone, even if they wanted to, would assault someone bearing in mind the results will be seen on CCTV at the custody suite? And bearing in mind the FME (police doctor) is impartial and can report assaults? It's totally ridiculous to suggest anyone would do that.
If he did have injuries it could be because he resisted arrest and used violence in which case it is perfectly lawful to use reasonable force. And in the case of an extremely violent potential terrorist it is especially justified.
And thats if the report is even true which I suspect it isn't!

Will you get your truncheon out for us?
No, I guess you'd be right, 1000 Deaths of black and asian men and women in police custody since 1960 and not a single prosecution; I guess it must those cultural differences making them crash and bleed out on custody cell floors. No chance that any officer would have anything to do with it. Those decent law abiding officers must be terrified of the prospect of being suspended on full pay, pending an investigation by the highly effective, transparent and never partisan Police Complaints Authority.
You must be really paranoid to think this man was some "violent potential terrorist". What percentage of arrests under the Terrorism act have actually resulted in charges being brought?
Reds under the bed? Muslims in your neighbourhood?
WHAT ARE YOU SO TERRIFIED OF?

How many policemen does it take to break an egg?

Of course, while the target belief and practice system worldwide at present is Islam, simply because of the historic and pre-historic significance and the current oil-wealth
In the end all cultural and belief systems will be destroyed and subsumed to a single global belief system based around servitude and submission to a small group of masters
Our nazi police thugs are reflecting this situation in advance - as the law demands
Yeah - they can get away with what they like

It's not the majority of the population that is racist (as implied by the use of the word 'country'), it is those who hold the reigns of power and those who help to uphold this power structure (i.e. the cops and sometimes the courts as well).
Most of us are quite happy to get along with each other, regardless of skin colour or belief system - and long may it be that way, DESPITE the petty divide-and-rule policies of the ruling classes.
In the end, this is our best defence against their ignorance, to keep making friends and to keep having mixed race marraiges and families, as ultimately WE are doing the right thing and not them with their nasty character asassinations for 'The Nation'.
Please choose your words more carefully.
Love the egg joke though! ;-)
