Publication day! Thanks to all the #spycops campaigners for helping to make this happen, and to @avitale and @GreenJennyJones (& others not on X) for the kind endorsements
‘Spycops’ uncovers the controversial and secretive world of undercover policing, raising important questions about ethics, accountability, and civil liberties. An eye-opening read for those interested in #LawEnforcement and #HumanRights. @RaphSchlembach ow.ly/LoIN50R9iyr

All charges against @IuventaCrew were dropped! Today we celebrate their freedom, knowing that this trial should have never taken place, & getting new energy to keep fighting the systematic criminalisation of anyone who defies borders, including boat drivers & other sea rescuers.
