The Gulf in Justice Podcast dives into the weaponisation of law enforcement against crypto industry entrepreneurs. Radha Stirling  talks with Simon Tadros, a tech entrepreneur who was extradited from Ukraine to Belgium, a country he had never even been to. Simon tells a story of what can happen to savvy entrepreneurs when law enforcement gets it wrong. Interpol and extradition specialist, Radha Stirling, has represented a number of crypto entrepreneurs who have been wrongfully targeted by law enforcement and swept up in a new, worrying trend towards universal jurisdiction. “Countries are trying to extradite entrepreneurs who have never even visited the requesting country. It’s dangerous and open to abuse. There is significant pressure on law enforcement to crackdown on crypto users and entrepreneurs and they are misusing Interpol and the extradition process to export their authority internationally. “We can not allow a precedent to be set whereby any country can, without evidence, have someone extradited to their country, especially those who have never even been there. Imagine if Saudi or China began requesting the same?” Simon Tadros was detained in Ukraine, extradited to Belgium to face unfair and unevidenced allegations. He was ultimately released which exemplifies how law enforcement and universal jurisdiction are a great threat to the safety of individuals, putting them at risk of egregious human rights violations. “What Simon has been through is disgraceful. He will not be compensated for the wrongful extradition, for the damage to his reputation, business and the personal toll it has taken on him and his family.” Stirling successfully helped British national, Christopher Emms, defend extradition from Saudi Arabia to the US and has appealed to Interpol to remove the Red Notice issued by the US in violation of Interpol’s rules. “I hope Simon’s case acts as a warning to Western law enforcement agencies who are haphazardly extraditing targets and ruining their lives, only to realise there is no genuine case”.

Ireland executed an extradition treaty  with the UAE in hope of securing the prosecution of Daniel Kinahan and those close to him. With Sean McGovern’s arrest in Dubai, Irish politicians are hoping for some wins. Interpol and extradition expert and CEO of   Detained in Dubai , Radha Stirling , warns the process may not be as straightforward as Ireland hopes. “Although extradition has a lawful basis, the decision as to whether to extradite someone largely comes down to political motivation and quid pro quo deals, balanced against the influence of the particular individual wanted for extradition. “If the target is well connected in Dubai, the chance of extradition is minimised. While Ireland may want this individual, there may be pressure to cooperate with UAE requests that would potentially put Irish citizens at risk of human rights violations. “The UK has denied extraditions to the UAE on the basis of the ‘real risk of human rights violations, unfair trials and torture’ and Ireland needs to consider this before any deals are made. Some extraditions from the UAE have been swift and facilitated with little warning while others have been wholly denied and this largely depends on political motivations. “The UAE has been accused of providing safe haven to wanted persons while others have been flown out in the middle of the night without due process. We are seeing more and more cooperation with Western nations but at what cost? Whatever deals Ireland is doing with the UAE to push through the Kinahan extraditions should be closely scrutinised as they could directly impact the safety of Irish citizens. “The UAE has denied South Africa’s relentless pressure to extradite the Gupta Brothers and the arrest and processing of McGovern does not guarantee his ultimate extradition. Most countries take four months to several years to finalise rulings so Ireland could be in for a long haul”. Stirling notes that extraditions have been denied by Dubai for a lack of evidence and for procedural or other technical breaches by the requesting nation. Ms Stirling founded the organisation   IPEX (Interpol and Extradition) Reform  and is an expert witness in extradition cases as well as Interpol Red Notice prevention and deletion. She's been a leading voice against Interpol abuse for over 16 years.

Breaking: 52 year old disabled Navy Veteran and PTSD sufferer faces years in Dubai prison over prescription CBD and Ibuprofen to combat chronic pain. NGO, Detained in Dubai , is calling on his representatives to get involved. Charles Wimberly, from Covington, Georgia, comes from a strong military background. His father served in the US military and his brother in the Air Force. Sadly, Mr Wimberly suffers a degenerative joint disease of the spine that requires ongoing care and medication, including spinal injections. He was scheduled for surgery in November with an expected six month long recovery time, so was quite excited to go on a pre-surgery holiday to the UAE. After arriving on the 21st of September, Charles filled his six days abroad with full day tours. From 8am - 10pm, he saw all the tourist sites while managing his pain with prescriptions. On the 27th of September, the fun was over and Charles headed to DXB for his long flight home, but he was pulled aside by airport security when he beeped going through pre-departure screening. The staff found his prescription Ibuprofen and CBD oil and despite him presenting his prescriptions, he was locked up.   “It’s every tourist’s nightmare”,  explains Crisis Manager  Radha Stirling , CEO of Detained in Dubai  who is helping Mr Wimberly. “Charles was locked up and deprived of his prescription medication as well as meds to manage his diabetes and sleep apnea causing him to suffer a diabetic episode. He’s a good man who does not partake in drugs (as evidenced in his medical history). All he wanted was one last holiday before his debilitating surgery. “Charles had unfortunately been provided with some misinformation on the internet in respect of prescription medicine. He thought he was abiding by the law but is now facing a possible 3+ year sentence for ‘trafficking’ his own prescription meds. “If he is not released imminently, he will miss his surgery in Georgia and the UAE will not provide him with any medical treatment. If he stays in Dubai, things will become very bad very quickly for Charles. His family, especially his daughter, are extremely concerned for his health and welfare”. Mr Wimberly has been granted bail but cannot leave the country.   “This leaves him forced to stay in hotels while he awaits prosecution. Charles can not afford the unexpected hotel bills, medical or legal bills. For many”, adds Stirling, “the process is the punishment”. Mr Wimberly told Stirling today,   “My PTSD is at a very high level right now.. I'm so tired of crying.. I can't stop shaking. My daughter is so upset… I feel like I've let everyone down”. Ms Stirling was given thanks by Ohio Residents Joseph and Joshua Lopez who were freed from Dubai two weeks ago with the help of   Detained in Dubai  and Senator JD Vance. “We’ve worked with a number of US representatives to help bring home Americans facing unfair prosecution in the United Arab Emirates”. More and more cases involving US citizens in the UAE have come to light recently. The Lopez brothers faced prison after being drugged and robbed at a yacht party. Tierra Allen was targeted by a rental car company, Elizabeth de los Santos for lightly touching a security officer and Peter Clark, for having residual cannabis in his bloodstream that was consumed legally in Las Vegas weeks before travel.   “JD Vance’s diligence and care was of paramount importance for our clients, air force Veteran Joseph Lopez and his brother Joshua. Without that kind of support, the brothers would likely still be there. “We will be reaching out to Charles' representatives first thing Tuesday morning. We need to get this long serving Veteran home for his surgery”.

Ohio brothers Joseph and Joshua arrive safely home after Dubai ordeal. Radha Stirling thanks JD Vance for his support. “I am pleased to announce veteran Joseph Lopez and his brother, Joshua have arrived safely in Ohio after a short Dubai vacation turned into a terrible nightmare” , announced Radha Stirling , Crisis Manager and CEO of Detained in Dubai  who represented the family. “Joseph and Joshua Lopez were sentenced to jail after being lured and drugged at a Dubai yacht party. Their ordeal should serve as a warning to tourists who are under the mistaken belief that the UAE is completely safe. “We are told repeatedly that Dubai is crime free, that you can leave your mobile phone on the bar bench and it won’t be stolen, but what of more serious but undisclosed crime? Apprentice star Selina Waterman-Smith was abducted and gang raped by three men. Joseph and Joshua were targeted, lured and drugged while trying to enjoy a harmless vacation. This kind of crime is only spoken about when raised by victims. It won’t be in the Dubai annual crime statistics. “The brothers were sentenced to prison time consuming alcohol (1 drink) onboard the yacht and for the state they were in following the knock out drugs given to them immediately upon boarding the yacht. It is unlikely any of the people involved in this incident will be charged and highly likely they will continue targeting tourists. “I thank Senator JD Vance who was highly supportive of his constituents and keen to get them home as fast as possible. With the combined support of Senator Vance and a strong campaign, the Lopez brothers managed to escape the prison sentence they’d been served. Without such an effective campaign, they would likely have been locked up for a minimum of 6 months which could have expanded to 2 years or more. “I am truly happy to see these wonderful men home and safe with their families. It’s been a privilege to help them achieve their well deserved freedom.” Radha Stirling CEO at Detained in Dubai +44 309 114 195 Detained in Dubai: http://www.detainedindubai.org Detained in Doha: https://www.detainedindoha.org Radha Stirling: http://www.radhastirling.com CLAN - Crypto Legal Advocacy Network: https://www.bitclan.org/ Due Process International: http://www.dueprocess.international IPEX - Interpol & Extradition Reform & Defence Experts: https://www.ipexreform.com/ Interpol Red Notice https://www.interpolrednotice.com/  Podcast: http://www.gulfinjustice.news Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/detainedindubai YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/detainedindubai X (Twitter): https://x.com/RadhaStirling   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/radhastirling   Live news and updates on Telegram: https://t.me/stirlingnews mail: info@detainedindubai.org  / Press queries: press@detainedindubai.org Phone: +447309114195  WhatsApp: Click here

Interpol used as a tool by disgruntled former spouses in divorce and child custody cases. Expert says preventative submissions are the best solution. A British father fears he could be listed on Interpol after his wife left him in Dubai under pressure from her strict father. The couple were tied up in complex divorce proceedings, the stuff of expat nightmares. He lost his assets and his bank accounts were frozen when a judgement was entered against him in absentia. Despite him being granted parental responsibility while she won custody (a strange UAE ruling that prefers men to have authority over major decisions like education), she continually reneged on court appointed visitations and the courts didn’t seem to care. He was forced to return to the UK for work but is now afraid she will pursue criminal cases against him over the financial court orders which could result in an Interpol Red Notice. “It’s extremely common for former spouses to make criminal complaints against their exes in order to prevent them returning to the country and sharing parental custody or responsibility”,  explains   Radha Stirling , Interpol expert and CEO of Detained in Dubai  and IPEX (Interpol & Extradition) Reform . “We have helped in numerous cases where spouses have deliberately misused the criminal justice and Interpol systems to ensure they are free to raise their child without interference from the mother or father. It’s certainly worked both ways and many women have also been deprived of their children through this abuse of process. “When we believe someone to be at risk of a wrongful Interpol Red Notice under these conditions, we prepare preventative submissions to Interpol to ensure that when a vindictive report is made, the victim is already protected from wrongful arrest and human rights violations”,  confirmed Stirling, who has urged those at risk to take pre-emptive action. “If no pre-emptive actions are taken, we’ve seen the terrible situations arise. We’ve seen people arrested while on holiday, being deprived of their liberty, subjected to lengthy and costly extradition proceedings and even extradited. Preventative submissions can save people from those potential adverse consequences and give them peace of mind”. Anyone who feels they are at risk of judicial abuse and a resulting Interpol Red Notice are encouraged to seek independent advice. Stirling is an expert witness in Interpol and extradition cases and has been removing Interpol Red Notices for almost two decades. “It’s much easier to prevent the Notice in the first place than have to deal with a live one and the resulting issues and severe consequences, including imprisonment, costly extradition, damage to reputation and loss of employment”.

Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2024 a path to ban social media. “No matter how you look at it, this Bill is an egregious violation of the human right to freedom of expression. The suggestion that social platforms be fined 5% of their global revenue is disingenuous and a mere conduit to shut them down” , says Radha Stirling , CEO of Due Process International . The Labor government in Australia has introduced a controversial Bill that would see the country turning into the next Brazil. “After the government disseminated disinformation surrounding covid, there is not a chance in hell that we could ever trust them to decide what in fact, is misinformation and what is dangerous”,  adds Stirling. “There is no doubt that the main area of concern for governments is the people’s ability to freely communicate ideas and heaven forbid, to criticise their policies. This Bill represents the biggest crackdown on a free thinking society and represents a gloomy future where citizens will only be able to read or talk about government approved narratives. I couldn’t be more concerned about the cooperation between Australia, the UK and EU in this concerted push towards an Orwellian, cashless and fully surveilled society. “Once they control the narrative, they control everything and they know it. That’s why they have been colluding against the citizens, under the false misrepresentation of “your safety. This is the single most important issue in our world today. Don’t let them distract you with the economy, climate change or LGBTQ issues. Any party or person who wants to control or remove your human right to freedom of expression, is wholly against your personal sovereignty. Elect those who intend to fight for your freedoms, not erode them”. Stirling is concerned the Australian government will push platforms so far, they will have to close down like they did in Brazil and they will have achieved their objective. Elon Musk has branded the Australian government “fascists”. “He’s absolutely right”,  affirms Stirling. “The Labor government is likely to be removed at the next election and are seeking to ram through seriously controlling legislation on the way out that the liberal government is unlikely to undo if elected. Although there has been pushback from the opposition, it has not been significant and we have to remember, they introduced the Digital Safety Act while in power, now headed by the power hungry Julie Inman Grant, a former Twitter censor, who is desperate for more authority after losing out in court to Elon Musk. “The fact is, on the issue of censorship, we can clearly see a uniparty in Australia. People need to look at the individual representatives and parties who are fighting for their free speech and support them. I also encourage Australians to raise these issues with their local MP’s and Senators, informing them that this is a major voting issue for them. Politicians are constantly on the campaign trail talking about crime, the economy and the climate, while pretending that censorship is a non-issue. We need to inform them that it is of paramount importance in a democratic society or we will lose our ability to criticise them on issues of the economy, immigration, crime, climate and their own misinformation”. “We do not want an Australia where criminals are being let out of prison early to make space for meme posters as we are seeing under the UK’s new labour government”. Stirling is a human rights advocate who successfully lobbied Canberra along with Senator Kroger to install human rights protection provisions in its extradition treaty with the UAE.  She is an expert witness and the CEO of Detained in Dubai  and Due Process International .  In her roles, she has witnessed the direct impact of authoritarian governments and is a fierce advocate for free speech, open discussion and debate.

Arrest of Pavel Durov raises serious concerns over free speech, universal jurisdiction and the cooperation of allied states against civilians. Today, Interpol and extradition expert and Due Process International founder, Radha Stirling , joined Mario Nawful’s X Space along with Kimdotcom , Ian Miles Cheong and other prominent speakers to discuss the arrest of Pavel Durov in France. Stirling raised the issue of universal jurisdiction, saying “I believe Pavel was arrested because France has cooperated with back door requests from the United States after Pavel refused to accept America’s invitation to work with them behind the scenes. “ We’ve seen how the US activated Sweden to target Julian Assange and then how Britain’s Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, thwarted efforts from Sweden to interview Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy which would likely have closed the extradition case (as explained by the former UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, Nils Melzer , in his book, The Trial of Julian Assange). “We’ve seen Ross Ulbricht sentenced to life in prison because he owned a platform. They sentenced him because of the crimes committed by OTHERS who used his platform and gave him a life sentence while the actual criminals were given a few years. Trump said he would free Ross on day one . “The Telegram CEO became a major target when Pavel declined ‘offers’ to cooperate with US officials and then divulged that to Tucker Carlson with his millions of viewers. “The US has pushed universal jurisdiction to legitimise charging foreign nationals either directly or via their allies. They either request their allies to charge a target or indict them directly and put them on Interpol, try to get them arrested and detained throughout lengthy extradition proceedings, even when doomed to fail. They did this to my client, Chris Emms, who won against US extradition proceedings and is now safe. “But it has come to the point where the US expects the entire world to follow their rules, even if it’s unlawful for them to do so. “American’s universal jurisdiction puts every single person at risk of wrongful and arbitrary detention and Pavel’s arrest in France is making US allied countries almost a no go zone. The UK has seen the US operating in this way and has begun speaking in the same kind of rhetoric, talking about targeting Americans, even Elon Musk, for their social media posts. Everybody should be concerned about it and understand how frightened we would be if Saudi or China engaged in the same practice. We wouldn’t accept it, so why should we accept it from the US.” Detained in Dubai: http://www.detainedindubai.org Detained in Doha: https://www.detainedindoha.org Radha Stirling: http://www.radhastirling.com CLAN - Crypto Legal Advocacy Network: https://www.bitclan.org/ Due Process International: http://www.dueprocess.international IPEX - Interpol & Extradition Reform & Defence Experts: https://www.ipexreform.com/ Interpol Red Notice https://www.interpolrednotice.com/  Podcast: http://www.gulfinjustice.news Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/detainedindubai YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/detainedindubai X (Twitter): https://x.com/RadhaStirling   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/radhastirling   Live news and updates on Telegram: https://t.me/stirlingnews mail: info@detainedindubai.org  / Press queries: press@detainedindubai.org Phone: +447309114195  WhatsApp: Click here

Citibank uses Interpol against customer over business debt. Citibank opened a criminal case and Interpol warrant against a long term business customer when his Dubai based company went bankrupt after the global economic crisis. He was in touch with them, restructured his loan but they bounced a security cheque for an amount far higher than he even owed. “It’s outrageous that any bank in these times would misuse Interpol’s database against a customer in order to have them unfairly arrested abroad. Interpol’s rules are clear that countries are not permitted to use the Red Notice system for matters pertaining to private disputes or financial debts”,  explains Interpol & Extradition expert Radha Stirling , the CEO of Detained in Dubai  and IPEX (Interpol & Extradition) Reform . “Interpol warrants from UAE and Qatar banks have caused the lengthy and unfair detention of victims in countries like Italy, Spain and even Ukraine. Once the person is detained, banks have made demands for large sums of money that isn’t even owed, using Interpol as a means to extort customers. "We have applied to Interpol on behalf of our client to have the Red Notice cancelled, but the process can take up to nine months and affects a person’s ability to travel or obtain visas, In some cases, they have been had their residency visas challenged in Canada and the US or have been deported or arrested. "This practice is a complete abuse of the Interpol system and should warrant sanctions on countries who continue to violate the rules. It’s disturbing that an international bank like Citibank would do this to their customers”. Stirling represents clients in negotiations and communications with banks , in the preparation and submission of Interpol prevention  and removal applications , as well as conducting criminal police and Interpol checks that prevent arrest and detention when travelling.

Ohio brothers to spend Christmas in Dubai jail with more sentences added. An Ohio veteran and his brother are appealing sentences that would see them behind Dubai jail bars beyond Christmas. Joseph and Joshua Lopez have been sentenced to four months in total after being drugged and robbed on a night out. Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai says “Joseph & Joshua are appealing a sentence that would see them locked up until early next year, fined and deported after being targeted by scammers while on vacation in Dubai. While local criminals target tourists with what appears to be the support of law enforcement, Dubai is far from the ‘safe tourist destination’ it’s marketed as. “If the boys’ appeal is unsuccessful, veteran Joseph and young father Joshua face months in Dubai jails notorious for human rights abuses. We only need to look at Lee Bradley Brown’s  death in custody or Albert Douglas ’ torture and abuse to understand the severity of what the Lopez brothers face. The worst part is that they were targeted and victimised, drugged and robbed and then re-victimised with a prison sentence. It’s eerily similar to charging a rape victim with sex outside marriage or a domestic violence victim with drinking alcohol and attempted suicide as in the recent case of flight attendant, Tori Towey . “Visitors are flocking into Dubai and facing the most ridiculous charges for alleged crimes they haven’t even committed. Last year, we saw Tierra Allen  targeted by a rental car company, Elizabeth de las Santos  targeted by an immigration officer and Peter Clark , detained for residual hashish found in his blood that he’d legally smoked in Las Vegas weeks before flying. “The USA needs to increase travel warnings to citizens to include the very real risk of being targeted by locals who seek to rob, extort or take advantage of them. Not only will they be robbed and extorted, but they’ll usually end up in prison too. “We are in touch with JD Vance’s team who are liaising with diplomats in the UAE. Joseph and Joshua were drugged by locals but instead of being treated as victims and the perpetrators investigated, they have been treated like the criminals. We hope that when US officials raise this case to their Dubai counterparts, that the custodial sentences will be overturned and the boys returned home.” Radha Stirling CEO  at Detained in Dubai Detained in Dubai: http://www.detainedindubai.org Detained in Doha: https://www.detainedindoha.org Radha Stirling: http://www.radhastirling.com CLAN - Crypto Legal Advocacy Network: https://www.bitclan.org/ Due Process International: http://www.dueprocess.international IPEX - Interpol & Extradition Reform & Defence Experts: https://www.ipexreform.com/ Interpol Red Notice https://www.interpolrednotice.com/  Podcast: http://www.gulfinjustice.news Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/detainedindubai YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/detainedindubai X (Twitter): https://x.com/RadhaStirling   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/radhastirling   Live news and updates on Telegram: https://t.me/stirlingnews mail: info@detainedindubai.org  / Press queries: press@detainedindubai.org Phone: +447309114195  WhatsApp: Click here

A 24 year old veteran and his brother are facing charges in Dubai after being scammed and drugged at a yacht party, then beaten by police. The Mr USA contender and his brother have been told they face years in prison if prosecuted after they were drugged at a yacht party. The organisation “ Detained in Dubai ”, along with his family and social media followers are calling on Ohio representatives, Rep. Carey, Senator Brown and Senator Vance to step in. Radha Stirling , CEO of Detained in Dubai has written to his representatives, explaining how crucial their involvement is to securing the freedom of these brothers. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s concern about the arrest of Tierra Allen had a significant impact on her freedom. Jackson Lee explained the steps she took to work with the US State Department to secure her release. We hope Ohio’s representatives will be equally proactive in helping the Lopez brothers. “Joseph and his brother Joshua were drugged and later found themselves approached by plain clothed officers and forced into an unmarked car. Under the influence of the drug, they were especially confused and tried to free themselves but officers roughed them up” , the boy's aunt told Stirling. Ms Stirling, who is supporting the family, added “Joshua was hit on the back of his head and his head was split open. He was punched in the face leaving his eye swollen shut and tased, Joseph’s toe was broken and he had abrasions all over his arms and shoulders. Strangely, the boys were not tested for the presence of drugs or alcohol which is highly unusual. We fear this is not an isolated incident and that tourists may be at risk of targeted drinks spiking. “Plain clothed officers approaching tourists without identifying themselves has prompted numerous arrests of tourists who have “resisted arrest” or defended themselves when approached by people they believe mean them harm. Police officers must be trained to identify themselves to avoid such altercations. “Joseph Lopez is a mental health advocate, social media influencer and air force veteran. In a live X spaces discussion  on Tuesday evening, their aunt Lisa broke down in tears. We heard stories from people he has saved with his advocacy. It was very emotional. These brothers need our help and the help of the US Embassy. They were taken onboard a yacht under false pretences and drugged. They should not end up the victim of this crime and of the justice system. ”It’s imperative that the US State Department support their citizens. Without that intervention as in the case of Tierra Allen , Elizabeth De Los Santos  and Peter Clark , these young men will likely face imprisonment in jails notorious for human rights violations”.

Former Senate aide, Tara Reade, has obtained over 5000 signatures in an effort to push AG Garland to open a criminal investigation against President Biden in Washington DC.  Her attorney has sent a criminal referral attaching the petition ( PDF attached ). Ms Reade is pushing AG Garland to open 3rd degree sexual abuse charges against President Biden. Reade claims that an investigation into her staff files and documents is urgently required being wrongfully targeted by the DOJ and democrat media operatives when she spoke publicly about her ordeal. “Rather than Joe Biden becoming the target of an investigation, Tara Reade became the target”  explains Due Process International founder, Radha Stirling , who has been helping Ms Reade. “The full force of Biden’s PR team and the justice department was launched at Ms Reade leading her to fear for her safety. Tara’s attorney and I have been pushing for disclosures from the FBI in an effort to expose the weaponization she suffered and now that she’s safely in the United States and Biden has dwindling power, we are calling on AG Garland to open an objective investigation into her complaint. She deserves that”. During the primaries, Kamala Harris said she believed the women who had made complaints against Biden but when she was offered the role of VP, never mentioned it again. President Biden has now come forth with the campaign that “Nobody is above the law” but so far, Tara Reade, has seen that he has been above the law. “Rather than investigating Reade’s complaint, she became the target of a smear campaign and a secret grand jury indictment that she’s never been able to get to the bottom of ”, says Stirling. “If Biden wants nobody to be above the law, then he should not seek to thwart an investigation into his former aide’s complaints. He should hand over the secret files believed to be held at Delaware University and cooperate with the investigation. He has done everything possible to avoid such an investigation to date”. Ms Reade’s US attorney, Jonathan Levy, has prepared a criminal referral to accompany her petition and will push for a substantial investigation to take place. Tara has suffered a media smearing campaign for speaking about her ordeal which happened to involve the democratic presidential candidate. Her complaint must be investigated, particularly because of the weaponization she endured and the impact it had on her life. ‘It is not just about Joe Biden, but about how the justice department and media was employed by him to target his former staffer, Tara Reade”, added Stirling.

Former UK prosecutor and new Prime Minister, Keir Starmer has branded protesters as “far right” thugs, lashing out at social media companies where the hashtag #FarRightThugsUnite has begun trending on X. Radha Stirling , founder of Detained in Dubai and Due Process International is alarmed at Starmer’s "far right thug" rhetoric, ​asserting “it’s the manufactured rhetoric needed to be the excuse to increase authoritarian rule and target social media companies where user generated narrative is free to develop outside the historic control of government shaped propaganda”. Stirling advocates against appointing prosecutors to prime ministerial or presidential roles. “Their job is to represent the state against the people. Starmer worked with the US government to target Julian Assange and have him locked up in Belmarsh under appalling conditions for years. “ While the UK and its Western allies have criticised countries like Saudi and China for authoritarian rule, censorship and the erosion of basic human freedoms, Starmer aims to progress the globalist agenda to do exactly that. Creating an environment that leads to protests, riots, dissent and division is exactly what authoritarians wat. The next step is to slander and demonise citizens to justify expansive powers that will remain in force forever. “ Branding citizens far right thugs or similar is a ploy to deprive people of freedoms. It starts with curtailing free speech and ends with ‘emergency measures’ like spying on citizens, arresting them under far reaching terrorism laws or freezing their bank accounts as we saw with the Canadian truckers . Where does it end? “The old military strategy of divide and conquer is effective in the government’s war against the people. The real fight of the British people is for their right to self govern, to have their voices heard and be involved in the discussion, debate and decisions that shape their future. But the UK government has other ideas and they don’t want citizen input. The government wants to be the only one dictating the media narrative and they want citizens to do exactly what they’re told for the benefit of big banks, big pharma, multinationals and the industrial war complex”. ”Keir Starmer’s ostensible attempt to change the talking point to cracking down on protesters and social media platforms shows us the true agenda of his government - to make you compliant and obedient tools of the global regime”.
