Spycops event, Frankfurt

Update on the British Undercover Policing Inquiry and legal actions proceeding against police in Germany and Ireland.

Information and discussion about cases of recently outed German undercover police, and how activists can continue to achieve their goals despite state repression.

Cases of undercover police such as Simon Brenner, Iris Plate, Maria Böhmichen and Mark Kennedy appear with depressing regularity in the history of political activism. But what are their methods and how do they win our confidence and develop close friendships?

This talk with Jason Kirkpatrick will give details and expose some false ideas about informers.

Jason had long been a friend of Mark Kennedy, who was hired as a covert investigator into the English climate movement. In addition, Mark Kennedy also dealt with the anti-G8 protest movement in 2007, as well as with the antifascist and animal rights movement.

Jason is also one of 170 witnesses to the independent British public inquiry into undercover policing.

Jason will also show short excerpts of his current documentary film project Spied Upon.
