It could have wider ramifications for journalists and activists, said Richard Tynan, technology specialist at the human rights group Privacy International. Lauri Love is facing extradition to the US and a possible 99-year prison sentence after being accused of breaking into US government computer systems “The mere attempt by the government to secure court directions which include forced decryption is extremely worrying,” he said. “As a basic principle, individuals should not be compelled to potentially provide evidence against themselves. This is a long-standing principle with a sound legal basis.” The NCA asked the court to order Love to provide witness statements stating whether two TrueCrypt files on his computer equipment contain data from the US Senate and the Department of Energy. Police are also seeking a statement from Love on whether his Fujitsu laptop contains information to download the “Police Oracle” website and whether a Compaq computer contains pirated films. Police moves threaten work of legitimate campaigners Tynan said any technical and legal means used to undermine encryption – including forced key disclosure – threaten the public’s safety and jeopardise the ability for journalists and campaigners to hold powerful organisations to account.

Love told Computer Weekly the police had “concocted a bunch of excuses” to avoid returning computer equipment they had no legal right to retain. “In one of the cases, they said they found a bunch of films on the computer, so now they are very concerned about movie piracy,” he said. “They are not returning property which they would normally have to return.” The NCA is understood to have passed images of Love’s computer disks to the FBI and is believed to be co-operating with the extradition request. US accuses Love of hacking conspiracy US prosecutors claim that Love was part of a sophisticated network of criminals involved in computer intrusions, and have filed separate criminal charges in New York, New Jersey and East Virginia. He is alleged to have taken part in OpLastRestort, a protest by the hacktivist group Anonymous over the treatment of Aaron Swartz at the hands of the US legal system, after Swartz downloaded thousands of academic articles. Swartz committed suicide following what his family described as “intimidation and prosecutorial over-reach” over a crime that had no victims. Court documents claim that Love worked with accomplices to infiltrate a wide range of US government computers and steal personal information and credit card details of government employees. The group is alleged to have exploited a known vulnerability in Adobe’s Cold Fusion software to access US government servers between 2012 and 2013. Love is accused of uploading “shells” or “backdoors” into vulnerable servers and using them to gain administrator rights, which allowed the group to download “massive amounts” of sensitive information. There is no suggestion in the indictments that Love profited from his activities, or that any personal or financial data was made public. However, the case is potentially embarrassing for the US authorities as it highlights the government’s failure to protect its IT systems by patching a known security flaw. “The US wants blood,” said Tor Ekeland, Love’s US attorney. “I really think they see Anonymous as a big threat to their control of information.” Parallels with Gary McKinnon case Love’s supporters draw parallels with hacker Gary McKinnon, who had his extradition blocked by home secretary Theresa May for humanitarian reasons following a 10-year legal battle. “I think the same reasoning that stopped Gary McKinnon being extradited applies in Lauri’s case. They are very similar cases. I think on humanitarian grounds alone, this extradition should be blocked,” said Ekeland. Naomi Colvin, campaigner for the advocacy group Courage Foundation, which is supporting Love, said he was in no condition to cope with the harsh conditions of the US prison system. Other hackers and activists represented by the Courage Foundation have frequently faced hash treatment in US prisons, including loss of email and communication privileges, and solitary confinement, she said. “Stays in solitary confinement are very damaging anyway, but the effect would probably be more severe in Lauri’s case,” she said. “Lauri has particular health and welfare needs and the US courts and prison system are not set up to deal with those.” Guilty until proved innocent Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said the NCA’s attempts to use civil proceedings against Love could set a precedent that would require people using encryption to prove to the police they were not holding illegal material – reversing the normal legal burden of proof. “In the case of Lauri Love, the National Crime Agency is making a grab for even more police powers. If it succeeds, anyone who uses encryption will be considered suspect under the law – a breathtaking reversal of the presumption of innocence,” he said. Love forced to seek prosecution in UK courts Love said he had been placed in the invidious position of trying to persuade the UK courts to prosecute him. “Even if I won all three cases in the US, that is more expense in legal fees than I would ever be able to repay. I would not get bail, so I would spend 10 years in pre-trial detention, just getting through the trials,” he said. Love, who is now working as a security consultant, and speaking at security conferences, told Computer Weekly that he had been in legal limbo for two-and- a-half years, and had suffered stress and depression.

    IN THE WESTMINSTER MAGISTRATES’ COURT B E T W E E N: GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Requesting State v JULIAN ASSANGE Defendant _________________________________ DEFENCE SUBMISSIONS: PART ONE _________________________________ ** All references are to the Defence Core Bundle unless otherwise stated 1. Introduction 1.1. These Defence Submissions are in two parts. In Part 1, we provide an overall summary of the case and briefly set out Mr Assange’s position on each of the grounds of abuse, including the Treaty point, and each of the statutory bars. This updates and refines the defence opening; responds to issues raised at the February hearing about the Treaty point and develops the Article 3 and Section 91 argument in more detail. In Part 2 (a separate document) we set out in full the interlinked arguments on Zakrzewski abuse, Article 7 and Article 10, and the related dual criminality point that no extradition crime is made out. That is because these points require amplification from the earlier submissions. 1.2. In these submissions we first summarise the history of this case to demonstrate that the prosecution is not motivated by genuine concerns for criminal justice but by politics. 1 1.3. We next address the three ways in which these proceedings constitute an abuse of process, in the following three separate but overlapping categories: (i) First, the request seeks extradition for what is a classic “political offence”. Extradition for a political offence is expressly prohibited by Article 4(1) of the Anglo-US Extradition Treaty. Therefore, it constitutes an abuse of this Court’s process to require this Court to extradite on the basis of the Anglo-US Treaty in breach of the Treaty’s express provisions.

  • Extradition and Mental Health in Uk Law I
    Criminal Law Forum (2019) 30:339–372 Ó The Author(s) 2019 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10609-019-09369-7 PAUL ARNELL* EXTRADITION AND MENTAL HEALTH IN UK LAW ABSTRACT. The response of UK extradition law and practice to requested persons presenting with mental health disorders is multi-faceted and unnecessarily complex. There are a number of reasons for this. They centre upon the law failing to ade- quately recognise that mental health cases can give rise to concerns not present in physical health cases. The deficiencies of the law are found in the three applicable bars to extradition; oppression, human rights and forum. They also can be seen in the applicable rules of evidence and the practice of diplomatic assurances. The time has come for UK law to specifically and systematically respond to mental health disorders in the context of extradition. I INTRODUCTION The response of UK extradition law and practice to requested per- sons presenting with mental health disorders is multi-faceted and unnecessarily complex. The issues raised are not consistently ad- dressed. The reasons for this are manifold and inter-related. They are firstly that extradition law fails to adequately recognise that mental health cases can engender distinct concerns. This is seen in the sim- ilarity in approach taken to deportation and physical illness on the one hand and mental health disorders on the other. It is also manifest in the operation of the three different, intricate and at times over- lapping bars which may prevent an extradition in mental health cases. The response to the evidential challenges arising in the area further illustrates the deficiency of the law.

Users faced civil penalties for libel cases, while at least two individuals were imprisoned for violent threats made on Facebook and Twitter (see Violations of User Rights). • In April 2014, the European Court of Justice determined that EU rules on the mass retention of user data by ISPs violated fundamental privacy and data protection rights. UK privacy groups criticized parliament for rushing through “emergency” legislation to maintain the practice in July, while failing to hold a public debate on the wider issue of surveillance (see Violations of User Rights).
