NOURNEWS - Britain has undergone significant changes in the domestic arena in recent days, which have challenged the political, social and economic environment of this country.
Meanwhile, the Corona crisis and the consequences of the government's secrecy about the coronavirus have caused widespread problems for the people of this country and other countries, and the British government continues to refuse to answer and apologize for this secrecy that has occurred in some parts of the country in recent days. There are popular protests and severe police repression.
Protesters against the bill to increase the power and repressive powers of the British police took to the streets of Bristol in recent days, which was met with police intervention and repression, and the protests turned violent.
Under the new law, the police will have the power to suppress any objection to government policies. Institutions defending freedom of expression and human rights have considered this law a precondition for the aggravation of oppression and contrary to human rights laws.
There are a few notable points about the increasing repressive powers of the British police:
First, there have been recent reports and videos of the murder of a 31-year-old woman by British police that have sparked widespread protests by British citizens, while the British government has insisted on passing a law on repressive police powers instead of systematic violence. Intensify this approach.
It is worth mentioning those human rights groups have repeatedly warned of the deplorable state of British prisons and the high suicide rate in these prisons and the violent behavior of the police.
Reports also indicate that high-ranking British police officers have been implicated in human trafficking, and that in recent years, with the escalation of the influx of refugees in war-torn countries in West Asia and Africa, they have dealt the most severely with displaced people. They attacked and beat, detained and deported the displaced.
Second; the British Home Secretary, Patel, condemned the Bristol protests, describing the participants as "thugs" who were looking for trouble! On the other hand, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson wrote on his Twitter account: "I witnessed shameful attacks on police officers in Bristol. The police and the city [of Bristol] have my full support."
Such stances have come at a time when the authorities have made no mention of the crackdown on protesters by police, or even of acts such as the killing of a young woman by police, the crackdown on pro-environmental protests or the crackdown on popular protests against the government.
Based on this, it can be said that the British government has officially supported the intensification of police repression, which shows the systematic repression in the security structure of this country and exposes the falsity of their humanitarian gestures against other countries.
It is noteworthy that the British government is one of the main suppliers of weapons to repressive governments around the world, which can be seen in the sale of arms and British security and military cooperation with the Zionist regime, the Saudi regime, the UAE, Bahrain and Myanmar.
Thirdly; British media outlets, such as the BBC, which claim to protect human rights, have remained silent or supported the British police's increasingly repressive powers and the repression of protesters, as in popular protests over the killing of a 31-year-old woman by police. Selective images refined the case of police crimes and the actions of British government officials.
The behavior of the British media in the face of such repression in this country reflects their political mission to make selective human rights claims against other countries within the framework of the political interests and goals of the British government.
These media outlets have repeatedly shown that they do not value the lives of their citizens, and that their claims of philanthropy and human rights are merely a deception of extraterrestrial use, concealing the critical human rights situation in Britain and a tool in the hands of colonial policies. And British hegemony on the world stage.
The racism and discriminatory behavior that pervades the upper echelons of the country to other parts of the country can be seen in the recent revelation of Megan Markle, the bride of the British Queen, reflecting the fact that instead of claiming to protect human rights, Britain should be held accountable for its title of one of the centers of systematic human rights violations worldwide.
