0100011 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Posted May 26, 2008 Un article un peu hallucinant sur le niveau de liberté dans nos braves contrées occidentales dans le guardian : http://education.guardian.co.uk/higher/new…2282045,00.html A masters student researching terrorist tactics who was arrested and detained for six days after his university informed police about al-Qaida-related material he downloaded has spoken of the "psychological torture" he endured in custody.Despite his Nottingham University supervisors insisting the materials were directly relevant to his research, Rizwaan Sabir, 22, was held for nearly a week under the Terrorism Act, accused of downloading the materials for illegal use. The student had obtained a copy of the al-Qaida training manual from a US government website for his research into terrorist tactics. The case highlights what lecturers are claiming is a direct assault on academic freedom led by the government which, in its attempt to establish a "prevent agenda" against terrorist activity, is putting pressure on academics to become police informers. Sabir was arrested on May 14 after the document was found by a university staff member on an administrator's computer. The administrator, Hisham Yezza, an acquaintance of Sabir, had been asked by the student to print the 1,500-page document because Sabir could not afford the printing fees. The pair were arrested under the Terrorism Act, Sabir's family home was searched and their computer and mobile phones seized. They were released uncharged six days later but Yezza, who is Algerian, was immediately rearrested on unrelated immigration charges and now faces deportation. … "On Tuesday they read me a statement confirming it was an illegal document which shouldn't be used for research purposes. To this day no one has ever clarified that point. They released me. I was shaking violently, I fell against the wall, then on the floor and I just cried." La notion de document illégal existe-t-elle en France (si ce n'est en théorie du moins en pratique comme cela a l'air d'être le cas ici) ?

Poil à gratter Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Un article un peu hallucinant sur le niveau de liberté dans nos braves contrées occidentales dans le guardian : http://education.guardian.co.uk/higher/new…2282045,00.html La notion de document illégal existe-t-elle en France (si ce n'est en théorie du moins en pratique comme cela a l'air d'être le cas ici) ? Il me semble bien que c'est interdit de reproduire ou de diffuser des documents qui ont trait à la frabrication d'engins explosifs par exemple. Et si soupçon d'activité terroriste il y a, on peut faire une garde à vue de 72 heures, peut-être même plus si ça se trouve. Par contre je n'ai jamais entendu parler d'un cas concret comme ça en France…
