WikiLeaks: Free travel for arbitrariness - How are placed in the case of Julian Assange civil rights suspended
Udo Ulfkotte
If you have read the following lines, then you can convince themselves that Julian is currently not in Europe Assange treated differently from human rights in China or Burma. But unlike in the case of imprisoned civil rights in distant countries, we look at all Assange how the rule of law in Europe is a farce. The persecution and disenfranchisement of the Australian WikiLeaks-founder in Europe is above all a test case of how serious European politicians are still with civil rights. Assange was indeed arrested at the request of the Swedish prosecutor with the valid since 2002, the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) in Great Britain. But this EAW is now one of the most dangerous tools in order to silence unpopular people in Europe or have even disappeared in cells - even if the persons concerned have never committed a crime.
All over Europe people are being prosecuted - just because they support WikiLeaks founder Assange. For those who come to the attention of the police, it is not just the one the websites of Amazon, Mastercard and other companies have made the Internet with DOS attacks temporarily inaccessible. It extends to information available to us from security sources in Brussels now, having set up a Google Alert for Julian Assange or WikiLeaks to get the attention of the European security authorities and should be considered as potentially "suspicious." To avoid misunderstanding: No one claims that there will be against the background of Google Alerts an arrest or search warrant. But those who have set up such an alert will certainly not suspect that their interest is just saved automatically to the security authorities and is known (regardless of Google's participation). This development is part of the degradation of civil rights in Europe, which is simply not perceived by many.
On closer inspection this is all more than questionable, as familiar to citizens of European law can be undermined quickly legal. This proves the "Julian Assange case." Assange was arrested in Britain for a "crime" that in Britain - unlike in Sweden - not a crime: sex without a condom. The European Arrest Warrant (EAW) will open in Europe since 2002, the arbitrariness of the door. There is no legal review of the EAW in the alleged criminal acts. Worse: An EU citizen can arrest and be extradited to another EU country, even if the alleged offense, where he was arrested, is no crime. The EAW leads to absurd situations: As EU citizens can be arrested because they have such as the Internet critical of immigrants who commit often in the EU than EU citizens certain ethnic crimes. Who for instance, in Austria or Germany on the Internet on crime by immigrants is expressed, which can be for example in Sweden wanted for arrest because of "racism" - and suddenly the police arrive at the door and delivers the person without a judicial examination of the case in Sweden .
Imagine, it rings at your door and arresting police officers with an EAW because it was ten years in another EU country once their accounts are overdrawn. A joke? No, not at all. Jacek Jaskolski is a 58-year-old high school teacher of Polish descent who has been teaching since 2004 at a British university. In 2008 he was arrested in London because he was a decade previously coated with a stay in his old Polish home had an account. In Poland this is a criminal offense and is prosecuted in the UK are interested in possibly civil courts for that. Although Jacek Jaskolski had balanced the account has long been covered again, he was by EAW arrested and transferred to Poland. More than a thousand Poles are arrested per year in other EU countries with an EAW and delivered to their home country because they then eventually have their account overdrawn. Each year, Poland will accept in other EU countries to arrest about 5,000 citizens for "crimes". Most of these cases were prosecuted in any other EU country. According to British newspapers, the cases in which an EAW is issued in Europe more bizarre: A 16-year-old teenager was searched by EAW warrant because he had paid in a restaurant but the meal, but not the subsequently filed dessert. The EAW was then detail all the substances and their Value listed, which were contained in the pudding. The boy was flown in specially for the transfer of offenders chartered plane from London to his home in the process - British police were stunned not only about the money.
is more often used, however, the EWA is to make silence politically unpopular people for a longer period. Julian Assange is not unique. Many media do not seem the slightest knowledge of the EAW to have to win by a further instrument of arbitrary additional field: the European determining arrangement in criminal matters (EEW). This example also includes an EU-wide search and seizure decision. Each EU country can use the police in another EU country to order in another EU country - to have carried out a house search or seizure - without any judicial checks. This regulation (European Evidence Warrant - EEW) is his January 2009 entered into force and has introduced until January 2011 in all EU countries. Each local police department, a judge in an EU country, every attorney and every law enforcement agency may issue such a European search and seizure decision (2008/978/JHA EU decision of 18 December 2008) in another EU country. As with the European arrest warrant check the relevant EU country no longer the legality of the decision, but simply out of this. It is a sure-fire system to destroy unwanted people quickly - because they can fight back, however until the measures have been completed and they may have been transferred to another EU country. In the case of Julian Assange we have seen, can have far-reaching consequences of what these measures.
The Swedes, meanwhile, has caught on once to prepare for the delivery of the Australian citizen Julian Assange to the U.S.. This is only the consent of the British. In Sweden against WikiLeaks founder investigating prosecutor, Marianne Ny, announced in a press release, the British would have to agree before Assange can now be delivered quickly to the U.S.. So it's certainly not right and certainly not about an alleged rape - it's just a matter of making a people ready. But that is the farce of a law. Europe has given up. If you are interested in further background of this development, then you look around the rest to our information service.
They are then quickly find what you withhold the "quality media" of information. Those who, like Hans Leyendecker (the man was once renowned as an investigative journalist for the Süddeutsche Zeitung) these days clearly against WikiLeaks position and its founder Assange are currently clearly eaten up by envy because they do not get, but other information, views, and may publish. Leyendecker people like to talk much, "of" conspiracy theory to discredit what they themselves do not get either of information or understanding to interpret. People like Leyendecker would do well to retire to withdraw. Or they are at last and defend political prisoners as Assange. Otherwise "quality journalists share" as Leyendecker once again a clear sign of why they are in today's increasingly redundant and one of the "quality media" should be located where they belong: in the paper.
