Surveillance and Disruption

2024: Statement on Surveillance and Disruption

We acknowledge the persistent and aggressive online surveillance targeting Joseph since his release from prison. In addition to the invasion of his digital privacy, there have been deliberate disruptions to his computers and attempts to sabotage his academic research—tools and work he relies on daily.

Although Joseph was convicted under Section 1 of the Protection of Children Act 1978, it is important to emphasise that no such evidence was presented to show that he engaged in any activities involving indecent images of “Children“. Despite this, those responsible for the surveillance appear to be seeking new ways to criminalise him unjustly.

We are deeply concerned that this persistent and ongoing aggressive surveillance is being used not only to monitor but potentially to fabricate or plant false evidence—something that has reportedly happened before. Those behind these covert actions may believe they can repeat the past without accountability.

But we are watching. And we will not remain silent!!
