TW: Police violence
2/12 #failuretorenderassistance
Police endangered human life! During the clearing of a sit-in in the #Hamburg harbor, the police left an unconscious person lying in the sun for at least 20 minutes. The police massively obstructed the paramedics.

3/12
Without consideration for the injured person and endangering the paramedics, the police continued the violent eviction. Despite requests to call an ambulance, this happened only after a considerable delay - the acute danger to life was simply ignored.

1. Andy Rootsey and the superb Hannah Thomas of @2HareCourt have secured another Not Guilty verdict for Human Rights campaigner Debbie Hicks @StroudRedShed.

This is the 2nd acquittal obtained in a series of 3 trials she has faced for protesting during periods of UK lockdown.
2. On the 6th March 2021 Debbie had been politically campaigning in the Richmond area ahead of the London Mayoral elections collecting nomination signatures.

Police ordered her to leave the area and go home.
3. She did not leave and later began to address members of the public via a megaphone protesting that her being forced to leave was an attack upon her right to campaign.

Andy Rootsey of Murray Hughman and Hannah Thomas of 2 Hare Court have secured the acquittal of Human Rights activist Debbie Hicks. Ms Hicks was prosecuted for organising and participating in a protest against the imposition of Coronavirus Restrictions in November 2020.
The Prosecution submitted that the Freedom Rally held in Stroud was in breach of the Coronavirus Regulations and that the actions of the Government and Police in response to the Covid 19 Pandemic were proportionate, given the risk to public health. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
The Prosecution submitted that our client was in breach of the Regulations and that her actions in protesting at this time could not amount to a reasonable excuse and could not provide her with a defence.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/glouceste…

Στις 4 Δεκεμβρίου θα συνεδριάσει η Ολομέλεια του ΣτΕ για την έκδοση οριστικής απόφασης σχετικά με την απαγόρευση των συναθροίσεων κατά την πρόσφατη απόφαση του αρχηγού της αστυνομίας. #thread #humanrights #echr #Covid19gr #constitution #freedomofassembly #righttoprotest
Απ' όσο γνωρίζουμε από την δημοσιότητα, στο ΣτΕ έχουν προσφύγει ένα πολιτικό κόμμα (ΜέΡΑ25), ένα σωματείο (Ελληνική Ένωση Δικαιωμάτων του Ανθρώπου) και μεμονωμένοι πολίτες με τα ένδικα βοηθήματα της αίτησης ακύρωσης και της αίτησης αναστολής κατά της απόφασης του Aρχηγού ΕΛΑΣ.
Η αίτηση αναστολής είχε και αίτημα προσωρινής διαταγής, το οποίο απορρίφθηκε, ενώ σήμερα ανακοινώθηκε η απόρριψη του αιτήματος αναστολής, πάλι για λόγους "δημοσίου συμφέροντος", δηλαδή για λόγους δικομνομικούς που προβλέπονται από το άρθρο 52 του π.δ.18/89
