The Global Police State Is Here

Are we surprised? From the Guardian... Has Interpol become the long arm of oppressive regimes?

Once used in the hunt for fugitive criminals, the global police agency’s most-wanted ‘red notice’ list now includes political refugees and dissidents

Russia is behind it, mostly.

According to the US rights organisation Freedom House, Russia is responsible for 38% of all public red notices.

Far from indicating that Kharis had committed a crime, Bromund wrote later in his testimony, the notice “proves only that the Russian Federation filled out the appropriate Interpol form”.

Because that is how bureaucracies work. Fill out the right form, and they will ruin someone's life.
