SOCPA - magistrate censures police
rikki | 31.07.2006 10:27 | SOCPA | Indymedia | Repression
last friday, the magistrate in a socpa case recommended that although she was finding the defendant gulity, he should appeal, and should make a complaint to the independent police complaints commission.
peter doraisamy was carrying out a peaceful lone anti-war demonstration in parliament square on the 26th april this year. he was viciously attacked by police, held face down on the pavement in front of brian haw's displays, leaving a pool of blood, and his face scarred for life.
the magistrate on friday was clearly shocked at the witness statements and the state of peter's face even three months after the attack. although finding him guilty under socpa legislation of holding an unauthorised demonstration, she only gave him a six-month conditional discharge, with no fine, and no costs (the lowest sentence yet in any socpa case).
peter had represented himself in court and spoke eloquently presenting a defence based on human rights arguments. the magistrate recommended that he find legal representation and launch an appeal, and she also urged him to take the matter of the wholly disproportionate police violence to the independent police complaints commission.
yet another example of charing cross policing which seems to be spiralling out of control under superintendent terry. (see

I am Peter Doraisamy. Thank you for putting this article on the net.
Just a correction to the date of my arrest. It was the 25th Apr 06.
I intend to appeal against the conviction with Legal Aid. I have been inspired by Brian and all the multitude of Conscientious Human Beings, who have kept the flames of hope alive.
It would be good to see a Named scroll of all the other Peace campaigners who have been intimidated and arrested by this corrupt band of pro USA and Zionist Parliamentarians (temporarily in positions of Power!).
I hope we can smoke them out of their dens, and sending them packing back to their foreign paymasters, before long. Unless of course, they join the chorus for World Peace, Ecology and Sustainability NOW!
I am taking this forward, in my own personal way, knowing that others are making greater sacrifices, both as war and terror victims of the Bush/Blair conspiracy, and crucially as protestors and resistors to the "highjacking of Parliament" by MPs sympathetic to U$A and Zionist interests.
Despite their wriggling today to slip away, they will pay. Our Day Will Come.
There Will be Peace. The World Rennaisance that is due, will ignite in the UK, (the old heart of the commonwealth), and once established, will spread around the world, with relative ease. This is where it will START. PEACE. Peter Doraisamy

Get your act together please officers!
I hope they don't start making protesters targets for target practice.

after your wretched outbursts on Sunday 9th September at the Red Lion Hotel in Wendover; I feel we can no longer be friends.
I find your views to be ill-informed and viciously prejudiced against anyone who disagrees with your world view; even when the arguments given to you are cogently presented as reasoned scientific debate and facts.
You also revealed yourself to be repugnantly anti-semitic and also have a severe dislike of the Roman Catholic church, of which you are extremely ill-informed.
You foment hatred of Zion and the Vatican, yet proclaim yourself to be a 'Peace Campaigner of the Highest Order'.
Note that I come from a mixed Catholic and Jewish family.
I find your promotion of alarmist, scaremongering doomsday environmental issues to be irresponsible and plain ignorant.
You deign to dismiss, with a shake of the head and a sickly grin, properly argued scientific fact and reasoning. This is an immature and fatuous attitude.
To question, without base, the spirituality and wisdom of someone who disagrees with you in debate is offensive in the extreme. Honest debate is not what you do.
I ask you to stop upsetting the my friends and myself with your obscene prejudices.

The Golohab
20.09.2007 08:53
is a manifestation of:
"The Golohab
The Burners, the Flaming Ones. The Golohab are the masters of fear and bias. They fuel bigotry and hate crimes, often involving themselves in extremist political groups, fanatical religious factions, and racial supremist groups. They are often found "evangelizing" their beliefs at public functions and rallies".
Doraisamy was not holding a peaceful demonstration, but spewing hate, anti-semitic bile and bigotry though a megaphone.
He deserved what he got from the Police.

Peter Doraisamy does not respect free speech

in your constant preaching and rantings around Wendover you have shown that you do not respect another persons right to express a point of view or disagree with you, more especially it seems, if they have truth and facts on their side.
I, and many others, have witnessed you verbally attack persons who legitimately questioned your political stance and then when you could not refute facts you start insulting them questioning their intelligence and their spirituality. Even slandering them around the village which is hardly what I would call the actions of a true sage or spiritual elder.
As for criminal activity you bring and ingest illegal subtances (15% high yield GENETICALLY MODIFIED cannabis - take note, nature lover) on licensed premises.
To my mind you have no right to preach when your own moral conduct is so lacks credibility.
