Tonight we hear from Silkie Carlo, privacy and internet freedom activist, who runs regular Cryptoparties encouraging journalists and others to guard their privacy and keep private information away from the grubby hands of spooks and criminals (and criminal spooks of GCHQ and the NSA). She also takes a look a the new Investigatory Powers Bill (IPB), or Snoopers Charter which, she explains, will not include judicial oversight or allow judges to check to see if surveillance is justified, only to see if the correct boxes have been ticked. Maz Saleem joins us whose father Mohammed Saleem was murdered in Birmingham around two years ago by a far right neo Nazi who had been specially brought into the UK by the Foreign Office. West Midlands police initially tried to use a crack head paid informer to lie on oath to get her brother convicted for the murder of her father but that was exposed. A black SUV with driver and occupants was seen to support Lapshyn in carrying out the murder but police would not allow that evidence in court saying the occupants were just trying to find a pub. In this horrific, disturbing case, one can see fascist West Midlands police deliberately trying to frame the Muslim family of a murder victim. Maz is worried a deliberate race war may be being drummed up here...
