"The Price of Dissent"

Thus is a talk by Moazzam Begg[1] about the harassment by the UK (with US involvement) of political minorities, and Cerie Bullivant representing Cage[2]. It is a heavy talk, because it is very frank about what all this surveillance technology has been used for. The use of COINTELPRO-style tactics are not hypothetical.
This is the other half of the "snooper's charter" story. As said in the talk, this harassment of minorities is the canary in the coal mine, that hopefu9lly serves as a warning that other groups might be next.
