Posthumous justice for innocent men framed by corrupt detective
Two fathers, Basil Peterkin and Saliah Mehmet, who were wrongfully convicted in 1977 due to lies by Detective Sergeant Derek Ridgewell, have had their convictions posthumously overturned. Ridgewell, a corrupt and racist officer, was later found guilty of stealing from the same depot. This case is part of a broader pattern of wrongful convictions linked to Ridgewell, with nine other individuals, mostly young black men, already exonerated. The families of Peterkin and Mehmet are advocating for a new law to automatically review convictions tied to police misconduct.

In London, AI monitors subway passengers
Artificial intelligence-based surveillance software has been monitoring the movements, behavior, and body language of thousands of London subway passengers to detect criminal activity or dangerous situations. Transport for London (TfL) tested 11 algorithms at Willesden Green station from October 2022 to September 2023, generating over 44,000 alerts, with 19,000 sent in real-time to station staff. The AI was used to detect aggressive behavior, unauthorized access, and fare evasion, among other things. However, the AI also made errors, such as misidentifying children and failing to distinguish between different objects. Privacy experts have raised concerns about the accuracy of object detection algorithms and the potential expansion of surveillance systems to include more sophisticated detection or facial recognition software. TfL has stated that the trial provided useful insights and that any broader use of the technology would depend on consultation with local communities and industry experts.

St George's Day: We can't let Englishness be hijacked by the right
During St George's Day in London, a rally turned violent with clashes between attendees and police. Right-wing columnists have accused progressives of silencing English history and identity, a sentiment echoed by former culture secretary Nadine Dorries and MP Lee Anderson. However, More in Common's polling indicates that most English people have a relaxed view of their national identity, associating it with benign practices and institutions rather than a politicized, exclusive vision. The St George's Cross has been co-opted by extremist groups, but the majority of English people are indifferent to the flag. The article suggests that the problem of under-celebration of St George's Day may be overstated by columnists and points to a need for modern English patriotism that counters exclusive nationalism.

Fear and Sikh resilience in Canada city amid India spat
In Surrey, Canada, the Sikh community is on high alert following the assassination of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar and ongoing threats. The community, which practices the martial art gatka, is at the center of a diplomatic crisis between Canada and India. Many believe the Indian government is behind Nijjar's murder and other threats to Sikh leaders. The incident has stalled diplomatic relations, with both countries expelling diplomats and affecting trade and visa services. Despite the fear, the Sikh community in Surrey remains resilient, drawing strength from their faith and continuing to advocate for their beliefs, including the Khalistan movement. The community is seeking accountability and protection from the Canadian government amidst these threats.

Cyber flashing labeled as 'banter' is a serious breach of consent
Cyber flashing, the act of sending unsolicited sexual images, has become a significant issue, particularly affecting women and teenagers. In England and Wales, the Online Safety Act has criminalized cyber flashing, leading to the first conviction in February 2024. Nicholas Hawke was convicted for sending unsolicited nudes on WhatsApp to a minor and a woman. The law aims to address the disparity between in-person and online flashing, with campaigners advocating for better education on sexual violence. Scotland has had a law against cyber flashing since 2010, but with low conviction rates. Globally, countries like Singapore have taken action, while the EU plans to introduce rules against online violence towards women. In the US, some states have laws against cyber flashing, with others developing legislation.

Christian Brueckner: what acquittal could mean for Madeleine McCann’s family
The acquittal of Christian Brueckner in a recent trial has significant implications for the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Despite being identified as the prime suspect, the prosecution's case against Brueckner was undermined by unreliable evidence and a strong defense team. The presiding judge's skepticism about witness reliability and the lack of physical evidence further complicate the possibility of charging Brueckner in the McCann case. With Brueckner potentially being released from prison next year, the pressure mounts on prosecutors to build a compelling case if they wish to pursue charges related to McCann's disappearance.

Why Nepal’s Gurkha fighters want to join India’s army again

It also explores alternative paths for Gurkhas, including joining the British Army, Singapore Police Force, or even the Russian army, driven by financial motivations and historical ties.

Overseas Hong Kong Activists Unswayed by Bounties for Arrest
Hong Kong pro-democracy activists, now living overseas, have been targeted by the Hong Kong Police Force's National Security Department with bounties for their arrest due to alleged violations of the National Security Law. Activists such as Frances Hui, Joey Siu, and Simon Cheng, who have been advocating for human rights and democracy for Hong Kong, are among those named. Hui, now in the U.S., has been involved in promoting the Hong Kong Sanctions Act, which calls for sanctions against Hong Kong officials. Siu, a U.S. citizen, and Cheng, a former British Consulate employee now in the UK, have also been active in lobbying for sanctions and advocating for Hong Kong's independence. Despite the threats, the activists remain undeterred and continue their advocacy work, viewing the bounties and arrest warrants as intimidation tactics and publicity stunts by the Hong Kong government.
