Trial collapses after undercover officer changes sides

Trial collapses after undercover officer changes sides

The trial of six green campaigners has collapsed after an undercover policeman who had infiltrated their group offered to give evidence on their behalf.

ze vieze schele kop
eerder al op indymedia uk 
ja - 10.01.2011 21:09

De ontmaskering is op zich oud nieuws, er heeft al van alles op indy-uk over gestaan:  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2010/10/466477.html
De activisten aldaar bleken niet in staat (of wilden niet, zie de comments) om een enigszins informatief dossier over de infiltrant op te stellen en maakten er een enorm zootje van. Nu de 'burgerlijke pers' aan de slag is gegaan, komt er eindelijk wat meer naar buiten.
lekker oordelen over z'n uiterlijk 
Tomas - 10.01.2011 21:24

Graag comments van nn over "ze schele vieze kop" verwijderen.
Schoonheidsidealen zijn bullshit,
Wat hij heeft gedaan was niet juist maar om hem op uiterlijk te gaan oordelen is ook niet echt van niveau!!!
I don't want to measure up to beauty standards

ps: foto plaatsen van deze infiltrant mag best maar hou je oordelen over lelijkheid lekker voor je.
Oordelen op uiterlijk is ook 'racistisch' te noemen

oordeel zelf

Kennedy knew of second undercover

Mark Kennedy knew of second undercover eco-activist
PC who infiltrated green movement is understood to have confirmed existence of a fellow police spy

(..)

Kennedy was then asked about other individuals in the protest movement about whom activists had suspicions. One was a campaigner who lived in Leeds and was closely involved in planning a major protest intended to close down the Drax coal-fired power station in North Yorkshire. There were already suspicions over the woman, who was in her 30s, after she disappeared suddenly around 2008 claiming to have fallen in love with a man in Coventry. The woman has not been seen since.

The six friends present when Kennedy broke down and admitted he was a spy then asked him directly if the woman was also a police officer. "He [Kennedy] nodded and said: 'Yeah, but you know about that already," said Craig Logan, 37, who was present. Kennedy is then said to have indicated that there were several other police officers living undercover in the protest movement.

Logan said that while there was circumstantial evidence suggesting the woman was operating undercover, Kennedy's former friends were highly suspicious of all the information he revealed that night. "This man was an extraordinary liar," he said. "We cannot take anything he told us at face value."

Release the Kennedy Files

The dramatic collapse of the trial of the remaining six Ratcliffe power station defendants has been seriously misrepresented.

114 people were pre-emptively arrested in the midst of a plan to shut down Ratcliffe on Soar power station in April 2009. Despite not being charged, most were given restrictive bail restrictions. Proceedings were dropped against all but 26. One of those not prosecuted was a protester called Mark Stone, who was in fact an undercover police officer called Mark Kennedy.

In a different article yesterday, the Evening Standard noted that:

"[Kennedy] is said to have become "depressed" over his "betrayal" of the cause and is believed to have moved to the United States.


Again they appear to be the only source that suggested where he might be. It is worth noting that Global Open also state on their website that:

Also a bit of information on Global Open in this article:  http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/jan/12/mark-kennedy-policeman-corporate-spy

Also interesting are the links between corporations, private security firms and the police.

Second undercover police officer revealed:  http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/jan/12/second-undercover-police-officer

Though this is Lynn Watson aka officer A who ended her "activist" life in 2008. But the article implies there are far more currently active undercover cops working at the moment.
