She used the identities of dead children and manipulated women's emotions a scandal for the British police

After the United Kingdom was rocked, in recent years, by the scandal of the espionage unit that has been involved in the infiltration and penetration of many political groups and activists since the seventies of the last century, the facts are still revealed in that successively amid the failure of British intelligence services to contain the case.

By using stolen identities, or entering into intimate relationships and even marrying some activists and having children, agents of the British spy unit managed to penetrate many spaces and infiltrate various political parties and opposition blocs, without revealing their truth for years.

But the torrent of shocking information revealed by former secret informants and victims of espionage operations, in recent years, and covered by many media outlets and press reports, has put the issue of British spy services under the microscope.

In fact, investigations were launched into the matter, but the hearings, according to specialists in the legal circles, did not actually begin, due to the sensitivity of the issue, its clash with many parties, and the lack of sufficient evidence. In addition to the crisis of the spread of the Corona pandemic, which necessitated circumventing solutions and prioritizing it, and therefore it is expected that the results of the investigation will not be announced before 2023.

Using the identities of deceased children

In a report recently published by the British newspaper The Guardian, in the light of British Home Office investigations and live testimonies, it was found that agents of the "Scotland Yard" police forces have used, for years, the names of deceased children, as pseudonyms, to carry out infiltration and hacking operations in several spaces.

The report indicates that, from 1968 to 1974, agents used the identities of nearly 80 dead children, without consulting or informing parents.

However, since the digitization of death records in the 1990s, the Metropolitan Police has halted this dubious covert operation, which agents involved in it have justified as being out of the public interest.

Commenting on this, Keith Vaz, Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Home Affairs, said: "I am shocked by this horrific process, it will inevitably cause great pain for families who will later find out the truth about what happened with the identities of their dead children, it is very disgraceful."

As this issue resurfaces, the controversy is heated up again about the operations involving Scotland Yard agents, and the harm they caused to many personalities, bodies and activists.

Meanwhile, many legal and human rights voices are calling for the unveiling of the controversial and suspicious "secret police" unit at the same time, and the accountability of the parties that endangered the lives of many and violated the privacy of many.

Women used to infiltrate

Several British media reports, based on statements by lawyers involved in the investigation, confirmed that since 1968, at least 139 agents of the British secret police have infiltrated more than a thousand activist groups. This was part of the Scotland Yard program to monitor the protests against the Vietnam War.

These groups that were infiltrated or infiltrated represent left-wing groups and parties, labor unions, environmental organizations, anti-racist or feminist associations, far-right groups, and other activist groups that were leading an active movement at the time under various banners. Then customers were able to collect and store a lot of data.

With the discovery of grave breaches, crimes and violations caused by the secret police unit, and the start of many demonstrations and protests calling for investigation and accountability, the Metropolitan Police, "Scotland Yard", announced the dissolution of the secret unit, stressing that it will be subject to full scrutiny through the investigation of the case.

But what sparked the British street’s anger the most was what was later revealed by several media reports after listening to the victims’ testimonies, which revealed secret agents manipulating the feelings and emotions of women and establishing intimate relationships with them in order to infiltrate the groups to which they belong or are active.

Commenting on this, Charlie Kemper, National Secretary of the Socialist Workers Party, said: "The way the police worked was all disgraceful, in many ways, and the most horrifying aspect of that was the women being duped into what they thought they were in real relationships."

Activists emphasized that the damages and disappointments suffered by many women cannot easily be erased or forgotten.

In 2015, the British police had apologized to women victims of hacking operations by manipulating emotions and suggested that they be compensated financially. According to specialists, about 11 women appeared for the hearing on Tuesday, 16 November.

For its part, the British police stated that "having sex, even if it is with certain goals, is no longer permitted." "Infiltration now relies on clear ethical guidelines and a legislative framework," she added.

The episodes of the series of scandals of the British secret police unit are still continuing, while many are awaiting justice for the victims.
