Britain’s secret assassinations programme and extended kill list
An extraordinary story has just emerged from the human rights charity reprieve.org.uk who, as they say “help people who suffer extreme human rights abuses at the hands of the world’s most powerful governments”.
Their recently published report entitled Britain’s Kill List
accuses the Conservative government of extreme deception of parliament
and therefore all citizens of Britain and the world more widely.
Officially, Britain has never had a so-called ‘kill list’ but David
Cameron had to admit to a limited extra judicial assassinations programme
a few months ago, which we reported. There was little establishment
media coverage and even less public response. But no-one thought this
programme was as extensive and broad as has just been unearthed.
David Cameron’s first speech as Prime Minister on May 11th 2010
falsely gave us some hope and can now only be seen as something as
hypocrisy on steroids –
If there’s one thing I’ve noticed since doing this job,
it’s how all the information about government – the money it spends,
where it spends it, the results it achieves – how so much of it is
locked away in a vault marked sort of ‘private for the eyes of Ministers
and officials only …’ By bringing information out into the open you’ll
be able to hold government and public services to account.”
Getting a little closer to the subject matter, last September, whilst
on a three day visit to Bangladesh, the International Development
Minister of the UK Desmond Swayne quite rightly said “Extrajudicial
killings cannot be tolerated in a democratic country like Bangladesh”,
stressing that all incidents regarding recent extrajudicial killings
“should be investigated and the perpetrators should be brought to
justice”. It should be noted his speech was made at the British High
Commission in the capital.
