News of the arrest of Senator Stuart Syvret and the charges brought against him under the Data Protection Act by the States of Jersey has finally reached UK shores as recorded by the Times, the Independent and Channel 4 News.
The politically-motivated arrest and charges are a blatant gagging attempt by the de facto dictatorship that runs the island in the interests of the rich and well-connected.
In his blog based campaign seeking justice for survivors of Jersey's culture of institutionalised abuse Senator Syvret has frequently named names and challenged those named to take action against him for defamation. Despite a readership approaching 200,000 - more than twice the island's population - no such action has been taken against Syvret. It must therefore be assumed that the named individuals are guilty and know that the Senator has compelling evidence that would emerge in court in any defamation case.
Yet the Jersey authorities seem intent on burying bad news by attempting to silence the leading whistleblower, rather than pursue alleged abusers. They announced recently that eleven investigations had been dropped due to `lack of evidence' and it is widely expected on the island that further such announcements will follow. Meanwhile abuse survivors, denied the redress of justice through prosecution of their abusers, are preparing to launch civil actions against the States of Jersey.
The ham-fisted attempt of the Jersey oligarchy to crush dissent betrays a mindset of presumed unquestioned power. At best this might be likened to the regime of a third-rate 1950s public school - but most current observers will find more compelling parallels in the actions of despotic rulers and power cliques in countries such as Zimbabwe, North Korea and Iran.

anonymous, an excellent appraisal of the tin pot dictators. Justice will eventually be done, it may take time, but NEVER GI
VE UP.
I wonder should we consider these charges against the Senator as a proxy exercise by all of those trying to silence him.
It has the advantage for the Establishment/Oligarchy of avoiding revelation of the damaging evidence which would invariably come out were any of those people the Senator criticised to sue him.
Officials can shred handwritten notes of vital meetings and get away with it, but the Senator is being charged for revealing material that should have been in the public domain in the first place.
The sooner the sun shines on the twilight zone of Crown Depandency the better.

The news has also reached North America, where almost a million true crime blog and political blog readers are now following Stuart Syvret's plight. The wretched Jersey regime's efforts to silence him to protect the island from any real democracy can only backfire in the international court of public opinion. The arrest and constant persecution of such a compelling rebel will always inspire a huge following here.
Excellent Post. Perhaps your readers will use the Times link you provided above, to leave comments. It helps for international Timesonline readers to realize that not all Jersey people are of the same mind in supporting an obvious system of cover-ups.
