People’s data privacy in question under the pretext of crime
- The Minister of the Interior of the United Kingdom has indicated that it will publish data on the nationality of convicted aliens. Last week, it was announced that the police had leaked photos of 79 detainees.
The UK measure, which will be launched before the end of the year, will be used to learn about the illegal activities of migrants and where criminals come from. According to the Minister of the Interior, Keir Starmer, the measure aims to "promote transparency and provide information to the public debate". To this end, it is planned to establish a system of periodic publications and the Minister has ordered a review of the methods of data collection and verification.The measure will focus on more than 19,000 people who are awaiting deportation from the country for committing violations.
The director of Migrants Rights Network, Fizza Qureshi, talks about the absurdity of the measure. He points out that this is a "remarkable exercise in punishment" and that "efforts" to create a link between nationalities and criminality only serve to "deepen" prejudices and discrimination against immigrants in certain countries.
In addition, instead of denouncing this, the members of the government are proud: "Compared to previous Interior Ministers, we are firing foreign criminals at a rate never seen before. And as the Conservatives have never published, we will publish more information about these criminals," a Starmer party said in the Daily Telegraph.
Privacy also festive during Bilbao’s Semana Grande
Last week it was announced that the Basque Data Protection Authority (DBEA) has warned the Department of Security of the Basque Government about the leaking of photos of 79 detainees who ended up in ultra-networks during the Week of Bilbao 2023. They were found in far-right networks, including those linked to the current MEP, Alvise Pérez. The Department of Safety and Security has reported that "a police document containing the names and surnames of persons declared to be of police interest was released on suspicion of involvement in violent robbery crimes."
The Basque Data Protection Agency has ruled that the principle of confidentiality was violated, stating that this information was sent from a computer belonging to the Basque Country. The organization has understood it as a deliberate act, not a human error. But he assures that he cannot identify at what point and how it was deployed. However, the administrative resolution calls for "concrete measures to prevent the recurrence of similar situations".
