Donna McLean was deceived into a relationship by #SpyCops officer Carlo Soracchi. It& #39;s significant that she gave her interview to Scotland on Sunday. Though they lived together in London, they traveled to her family in Scotland where he attended numerous family events. https://twitter.com/copscampaign/status/1289832026477125633">https://twitter.com/copscampa...
The forthcoming #SpyCops public inquiry @ucpinquiry is limited to activities in England & Wales, even though many officers went to Scotland, both for political activity & to cultivate the relationships with women they spied on.
The Met admitted #SpyCops deceiving women they spied on into relationships was & #39;abusive, deceitful, manipulative & wrong... a gross violation of personal dignity and integrity& #39; that violated fundamental human rights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lcu5IGbShxE">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
It cannot be right that we get a public inquiry for #SpyCops& #39; deeds in England & Wales but citizens abused by them in Scotland get nothing. The Scottish government made formal requests to the Home Office to be included in the Inquiry but were rebuffed. http://campaignopposingpolicesurveillance.com/2015/12/21/scotland-asks-to-join-inquiry/">https://campaignopposingpolicesurveillance.com/2015/12/2...
Having recognised the seriousness of the #SpyCops scandal in Scotland & the need for a credible inquiry, then-Justice Minister Michael Matheson met with victims including @Donna__McLean& #39;s sister. He ignored everything they said & ordered a cover-up. http://campaignopposingpolicesurveillance.com/2017/05/13/spycops-activists-meet-scottish-minister/">https://campaignopposingpolicesurveillance.com/2017/05/1...
The Scottish Government commissioned HM Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland to produce a report. It was conducted by officers who& #39;d been involved with #SpyCops. The result - as was surely intended - was a whitewash. It didn& #39;t even mention women deceived into relationships.
The Undercover Research Group @UndercoverNet responded with a report that dismembers the HMICS one, & compiling what& #39;s known about #SpyCops in Scotland. PDF: https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/crowdjustice/download/documents/Political+Undercover+Policing+in+Scotland.pdf

The Scottish government& #39;s contradictory position continues to this day - #SpyCops abuses in Scotland should be covered by @ucpinquiry, but if excluded Scotgov refuses to have its own inquiry. Victims asked for a meeting with Justice Minister @HumzaYousaf, but he has ignored them.
Thank you @DaniGaravelli1 for doing such an incisive interview with @Donna__McLean, putting the issue to the fore in Scotland. #SpyCops abused citizens & undermined campaigns in Scotland over a period of decades. Scotland deserves truth & justice just as much as England & Wales.
