The United Kingdom (UK) High Court has ruled that the country’s security and intelligence agencies can no longer use “general warrants” as legal writ for property interference, aka hacking. The move has been declared a victory for the rule of law by privacy and civil liberties experts around the world. For years, law enforcement in the UK has been using general warrants under an interpretation of the law provided by the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) to authorize acts of property interference on multiple targets – as many as hundreds of thousands – at a time. Specifically, the IPT previously claimed that Section 5 of the Intelligence Services Act (ISA) of 1994 permitted the use of general warrants for what is essentially mass hacking.

Academics launch a Letter of Solidarity with Western Sahara, which they invite to sign
Professors from the Universities of Sussex, Princeton, Carleton and Exeter have published a letter inviting you to sign
Letter of Solidarity with Western Sahara
As scholars, researchers, activists and concerned individuals, we, the undersigned, strongly condemn President Donald Trump’s proclamation recognizing Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara.
Western Sahara is a case of unresolved decolonization.
Decolonization is not only a legal process, but a political struggle, one which has often been waged through the global public sphere. World public opinion, transnational solidarity and global attention have historically been integral to successful decolonization struggles, from Algeria to Palestine. Anticolonial struggles in Western Sahara have lacked international visibility, which solidarity efforts can serve to rectify.
