Metropolitan police apologises for undercover officers' relationships – VIDEO http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/video/2015/nov/20/metropolitan-police-apologises-for-undercover-officers-relationships-video
Undercover officer Mark Kennedy had relationships with three of the women involved in the legal action. Police
chiefs have apologised unreservedly to seven women who were deceived
into forming “abusive and manipulative” long-term relationships with
undercover police officers.
The Metropolitan police
have also paid substantial, undisclosed amounts of compensation to the
women who had intimate relationships, lasting up to nine years, with the
undercover spies.
Protest at Met HQ over police officers' UNDERCOVER sex with activists
Women were 'unable to give informed consent', say demonstrators who blocked entry to New Scotland Yard
Demonstrators make their point at New Scotland Yard.
Protesters blockaded the main entrance of New Scotland Yard in London this morning in a demonstration against undercover police officers having sex with members of groups they infiltrate.
The comprehensive apology comes four years after the women launched
legal action against the police, alleging the deception caused them
emotional trauma. As part of an out of court settlement, Martin Hewitt, an assistant commissioner at the Met, issued a statement
saying: “Thanks in large part to the courage and tenacity of these
women in bringing these matters to light it has become apparent that
some officers, acting undercover whilst seeking to infiltrate protest
groups, entered into long-term intimate sexual relationships with women
which were abusive, deceitful, manipulative and wrong. “I acknowledge that these relationships were a violation of the
women’s human rights, an abuse of police power and caused significant
trauma. I unreservedly apologise on behalf of the Metropolitan police
service. I am aware that money alone cannot compensate the loss of time,
their hurt or the feelings of abuse caused by these relationships.” He added: “Most importantly, relationships like these should never
have happened. They were wrong and were a gross violation of personal
dignity and integrity.
“The Metropolitan police recognises that these cases demonstrate that
there have been failures of supervision and management.
The
Metropolitan police recognises that this should never happen again and
the necessary steps must be taken to ensure that it does not.”
He
described the conduct of the undercover officers as “totally
unacceptable” and conceded that the woman had been “deceived pure and
simple”.
On Friday, the women said:
“Although no amount of ‘sorry’, or financial compensation, can make up
for what we and others have endured, we are pleased the police have been
forced to acknowledge the abusive nature of these relationships and
that they should never happen.
“By linking our cases together we have been able to evidence a clear
pattern of abusive, discriminatory behaviour towards women which amounts
to institutional sexism by the Metropolitan police.”
“Five years ago, it would have seemed inconceivable to the public
that state employees would go to such lengths but the scale of abuse
uncovered demonstrates that this was accepted practice for many years.“
The women have criticised police for obstructing legal action through a variety of tactics since they launched
it in 2011. On Friday, Hewitt accepted that the legal proceedings “have
been painful distressing and intrusive and added to the damage and
distress. The women have conducted themselves throughout this process
with integrity and absolute dignity.”
The settlement is a significant moment in a controversy that has
enveloped police since late 2010 when Mark Kennedy, the undercover spy
who infiltrated environmental groups for seven years, was unmasked by
activists.
One of the women, known only as Lisa Jones, had a six-year relationship with Kennedy before she and her friends exposed him. In her first media interview,
she told the Guardian that gradually uncovering the truth about him
felt like “long, slow painful torture – real psychological torture”. Another undercover officer, Bob Lambert, had relationships with four women while pretending to be an animal rights and environmental activist for four years in the 1980s.
Helen Steel, an environmental campaigner who was one of the two defendants in the McLibel legal action
against restaurant chain McDonald’s, had a two-year relationship
between 1990 and 1992 with John Dines, who spied on leftwing groups. She
said : “I am glad the Metropolitan police have finally admitted that these undercover relationships were abusive and indefensible.”
However, an eighth woman in the legal action, Kate Wilson, has not
accepted the settlement and continues her legal fight. Wilson, who had a two-year relationship with Kennedy
between 2003 and 2005, said that following the discovery of his real
identity, “my sense of who I am and what I can believe, have been
devastating and I remain haunted by unanswered questions”.
It is understood that the police did not disclose any documents about
the covert deployments of the undercover officers during the legal
case. Other women who were deceived into having relationships with
undercover officers have yet to settle their legal actions against the
police.
The announcement on Friday follows an out of court settlement reached
last year with a woman who was profoundly traumatised after finding out
by chance that Lambert was the father of her son. The woman, known as Jacqui, was paid more than £400,000 by the Met. She had made the discovery 24 years after Lambert abandoned her and her son.
