Raided for no reason

Emma is a twenty year old student who is also involved in a number of protest groups. She has never been arrested or participated in any disruptive or violent protests.

She was given an exclusion notice and a fortnight ago her partner’s parents’ house was raided by police while they were there. The parents were away – and the police knew it. One policeman asked her partner how his parents’ Greek holiday was going. The seven police arrested Emma, and prevented her from talking to her friends. They took her diaries, anti-CHOGM stickers and her phone. They went through her deleted text messages.

Emma is rightly scared of this intimidating behaviour. She is a UWA student and is not allowed onto UWA grounds and can’t catch public transport if the route runs through the city.

She does not know why she has been targeted – and neither do we, or you, or anyone other than the Commissioner, the Deputy Commissioner, and the Police Minister.
