„In addition to charges of trespass and damage to property, the group is accused of "membership of a criminal organisation" - namely Palestine Action Germany - under Section 129 of the German penal code.
This legal statute is commonly applied in cases of "terrorism" and organised crime, and can lead to a prison sentence of up to five years.“

📄 Summary: https://decriminalisedfutures.org/media/pages/a-history-of-sex-work-criminalisation-in-the-uk/e891876ca2-1744822244/edited-summary_-a-history-of-sex-work-criminalisation-in-the-uk.pdf> This session examined the criminalisation of women's sexual labour in London from the mid-19th century to the 1960s. We looked at relevant histories of trafficking and migration, and at early 20th century decriminalisation campaigns. Dr Julia Laite shared her research on the effects of criminalisation on the sex industry and the experiences of women who sold sex, while emphasising how these laws intersect with gender, class, and race.

Honestly, this does not need much of an introduction. ^~
But just to highlight a few of the topics discussed…
• How did brothels turn from houses collectively-rented by prostitutes to mostly-male-landlords-owned rooms charged at ridiculous prices?
• What has been the historical result of tacking repression of comercial sex into laws intended to address trafficking or exploitation?
• What was abolitionism when applied to sex work at the time, and how does it relate (or not) to current neoabolitionism (“Nordic Model”)?
• How did police's treatment of prostitutes shift through that time?
• How did migration mix in with all of that?
… and quite a bit more. ^~
Seriously, it's a really recommended listen/read. 💖

The US was not mentioned in this article about the UK ending jury trials for lower offenses. The US also used the excuse of overburdened courts to force nearly all (98%!) criminal cases to go through plea deals.
Here that looks like not everyone getting the right to a trial by jury of their peers. Police and prosecutors collude to stack charges to push defendants to take plea bargains, which leads to more people in custody.

Trial of #LandDefenders Fighting the #CoastalGasLink #Pipeline is Put on Hold as Canadian #Police Come Under Scrutiny for Excessive Force
The defense for three activists from #FirstNations argues abuse of process by security forces around the pipeline construction site, as the U.N. and Amnesty International allege excessive force, surveillance and #criminalization of land defenders.
By Keerti Gopal
January 24, 2024"The trial of three Indigenous land defenders arrested at a pipeline construction site on #unceded #Wetsuweten First Nation land was adjourned until spring on Friday, as the court looks into potential abuses by Canadian police.
"In the Supreme Court of British Columbia in Smithers, B.C., the trial is the latest development in the nearly 12-year fight against the Coastal GasLink natural gas pipeline in the Canadian province.
"Land defenders #Sleydo’ #MollyWickham, #ShayLynnSampson and #CoreyJocko were found guilty of criminal contempt earlier this month, with Justice Michael Tanmen ruling that they broke a court injunction forbidding them from blocking access to construction for the Coastal GasLink pipeline.
"But immediately following the verdict, Tanmen began a week-long hearing to listen to the three individuals’ abuse of process applications, which allege that their Charter rights were violated during their arrests and detentions. During the hearing, the defense argued to stay the charges based on these applications, citing excessive force, aggressive behavior, offensive language and mocking by police.
"In Canada, the abuse of process doctrine allows courts to stay, or postpone, a proceeding on the grounds that some element of the process was unfair, and might undermine the legal system. In this case, the abuse of process application focused on treatment during and after arrests.
"The trial began on Jan. 8 and consisted mainly of witness testimony and evidence gathered in November 2021, during one of four major police raids at the pipeline between 2019 and 2023. The evidence included videos from social media and other videos taken by officers from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Canada’s national police service.
"The videos, and testimony from witnesses, including #RCMP officers, detailed the police using dogs and firearms and wielding chainsaws to cut down the doors of a cabin where Sleydo’ and Sampson were arrested. Jocko was arrested in another small structure close by.
"The activists allege police used excessive force to break down the doors and used offensive language, showing videos in which officers described arrestees as 'orcs' and 'ogres.' The abuse of process hearing will likely restart in June.
"Chief Na’Moks, a Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chief and prominent advocate against the pipeline, said that the trial may serve as a template for future legal battles across Canada, where several other pipeline projects are underway.
"'This is going to affect everything else that happens, not only in #BritishColumbia but in #Canada,' Chief Na’Moks said last week. “This is the template that they want to use...and the harassment and constant abuse of #HumanRights has to stop.”

Wet'suwet'en Testify on #PoliceBrutality, #Imprisonment, at Inter-American Commission on #HumanRights
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, July 10, 2023
"Wet’suwet’en described their struggle to defend their land, waters, and rights to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (#IACHR) in a virtual hearing. Joined by #AmnestyInternational, representatives from the Nation described the ongoing unjust #criminalization and #harassment of #LandDefenders opposing the construction of the #CoastalGasLink (#CGL) #pipeline through Wet’suwet’en territory. The Canadian government responded to the testimony of the Wet’suwet’en delegation. The testimony described the attacks on the Nation’s rights, including the right to free, prior and informed consent to resource-extraction projects affecting their territory, as upheld in the UN’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples."

CW: A theory and a question about seeing the criminalization of sex work as enclosure of means of production
It's possible to see the criminalization of sex work as enclosure of productive commons in support of capitalism. I feel like people must already have thought about this and am hoping someone could recommend reading? The argument:
1. Everyone has a body and can potentially use it to make money directly through sex work. Bodies are a means of production available to every person without intermediation.
2. People who can support themselves directly may not choose to engage in wage labor. This threatens capitalism, which requires a steady supply of commoditized labor.
3. Capital's response is to cut off access to the means of production, an enclosure process. Liberated sex work, with no entree for the state through criminalization, threatens capitalism and is therefore illegal.
I'm not claiming that this is the sole reason sex work is criminalized. Criminalized sex work, like all aspects of capitalism, has many uses and so is highly overdetermined. There are many, many reasons for it.
