Britain eyes security treaty with European nation to slash illegal migration | UK | News

Britain is close to sealing the deal on a new security treaty with Poland to tackle the threat from Russia and illegal migration. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and National Security Advisor Jonathan Powell discussed the pact with Polish foreign minister Radoslaw Sikorski during his trip to London last week. Mr Sikorski said it was close to being finalised, marking the latest in a series of pacts with Britain’s European allies.

In July, a similar agreement was signed with Germany, and negotiations with France are ongoing. This latest security treaty is expected to expand the joint measures with Poland to mitigate against Russian interference and crack down on illegal migration and people smuggling. Mr Sikorski claimed the best way to tackle the rise of right-wing populist movements was to control irregular migration during an event in Westminster by the campaign group United Against Nuclear Iran.

He said: “I believe that we have delivered on migration. We’ve built a big and beautiful fence on our border with Belarus, which is 98% effective.

“I’ve raised the prices of Polish visas. We’ve ended the business of fake students doing fake studies just to get a work permit. And we’ve reduced net migration from culturally distant countries.

“And in return, I’m pleased to say that for the first time in 300 years, last year, more Poles have come back to Poland than have left Poland. So Poles are voting with their feet to go back to our country.”

This comes as senior officials warned that Russian spies have links to people smuggling gangs trafficking asylum seekers into Europe.

Daniel Mitov, Bulgaria’s interior minister, said his government has evidence of direct links between Russia‘s foreign intelligence agency and the criminal gangs helping illegal migrants to enter Europe.

He told The Times: “Illegal migration inflows are an instrument for hostile regimes to destabilise the European Union and the United Kingdom.

“They are aiming to destabilise the welfare systems [in European countries]. Plus, of course … through smuggling radicalised individuals, they create security issues for us.

“Now is the time to build a home and preserve our internal freedoms … Every house needs walls. Those walls need to be solid and there are gates through which every guest can enter.”

On April 12, 2021, a Knoxville police officer shot and killed an African American male student in a bathroom at Austin-East High School. The incident caused social unrest, and community members began demanding transparency about the shooting, including the release of the officer’s body camera video. On the evening of April 19, 2021, the Defendant and a group of protestors entered the Knoxville City-County Building during a Knox County Commission meeting. The Defendant activated the siren on a bullhorn and spoke through the bullhorn to demand release of the video. Uniformed police officers quickly escorted her and six other individuals out of the building and arrested them for disrupting the meeting. The court upheld defendants’ conviction for “disrupting a lawful meeting,” defined as “with the intent to prevent [a] gathering, … substantially obstruct[ing] or interfere[ing] with the meeting, procession, or gathering by physical action or verbal utterance.” Taken in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence shows that the Defendant posted on Facebook the day before the meeting and the day of the meeting that the protestors were going to “shut down” the meeting. During the meeting, the Defendant used a bullhorn to activate a siren for approximately twenty seconds. Witnesses at trial described the siren as “loud,” “high-pitched,” and “alarming.” Commissioner Jay called for “Officers,” and the Defendant stated through the bullhorn, “Knox County Commission, your meeting is over.” Commissioner Jay tried to bring the meeting back into order by banging his gavel, but the Defendant continued speaking through the bullhorn. Even when officers grabbed her and began escorting her out of the Large Assembly Room, she continued to disrupt the meeting by yelling for the officers to take their hands off her and by repeatedly calling them “murderers.” Commissioner Jay called a ten-minute recess during the incident, telling the jury that it was “virtually impossible” to continue the meeting during the Defendant’s disruption. The Defendant herself testified that the purpose of attending the meeting was to disrupt the Commission’s agenda and to force the Commission to prioritize its discussion on the school shooting. Although the duration of the disruption was about ninety seconds, the jury was able to view multiple videos of the incident and concluded that the Defendant substantially obstructed or interfered with the meeting. The evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction. Defendant also claimed the statute was “unconstitutionally vague as applied to her because the statute does not state that it includes government meetings,” but the appellate court concluded that she had waived the argument by not raising it adequately below. Sean F. McDermott, Molly T. Martin, and Franklin Ammons, Assistant District Attorneys General, represent the state.
