Axel Beckert (ETH Zurich), the mentality of sexual violence on campus
Reprinted with permission from Daniel Pocock.
In 2017, the community elected me as FSFE Fellowship representative. The preferred candidate, a German, came third. They've been out to get me ever since.
Over $120,000 of Debian (non-profit) funds have been spent/wasted on this vendetta.
It looks like these overbearing fascists even went into a police station on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks to demand the censorship of my blog.
What was on their mind when they did that?
It is in the documents they created themselves. Physical and sexual violence by the state.
This document was signed by Axel Beckert at ETH Zurich, a university in Zurich.
While creating and signing the vendetta, Beckert must have surely thought about the reports of police sexual violence against the Debian founder, Ian Murdock. Therefore, Beckert appears to be willing the same sexual violence against me.
Amnesty International produced a report about the use of sexual violence by people pretending to be police in Switzerland. One of the more glaring examples is that of Trevor Kitchen. The reason Mr Kitchen stands out is because in the early 1990s, Mr Kitchen complained about a Swiss colleague stealing credit for his work. Kitchen subseqently became known for another scandal, the Forex probe in 2013 but here I am only looking at the plagiarism case from 1992. We have an analogous problem in Debian today. People use the Debian trademark and web site to obfuscate who really did the work. For the victims, it feels like plagiarism. I already wrote a blog about that phenomena too.
Trevor Kitchen, a 41-year-old British citizen resident in Switzerland, was arrested by police in Chiasso (canton of Ticino) on the morning of 25 December 1992 in connection with offences of defamation and insults against private individuals. In a letter addressed to the Head of the Federal Department of Justice and Police in Berne and to the Tribunal in Bellinzona (Ticino) on 3 June 1993 he alleged that two police officers arrested him in a bar in Chiasso and, after handcuffing him, accompanied him to their car in the street outside. They then bent him over the car and hit him around the head approximately seven times and carried out a body search during which his testicles were squeezed. He claimed he was then punched hard between the shoulder blades several times. He said he offered no resistance during the arrest.
He was then taken to a police station in Chiasso where he was questioned in Italian (a language he does not understand) and stated that during the questioning "The same policeman that arrested me came into the office to shout at me and hit me once again around the head. Another policeman forced me to remove all of my clothes. I was afraid that they would use physical force again; they continued to shout at me. The one policeman was pulling at my clothes and took my trouser belt off and removed my shoe laces. Now I stood in the middle of an office completely naked (for 10 minutes) with the door wide open and three policemen staring at me, one of the policemen put on a pair of rubber surgical gloves and instructed me to crouch into a position so that he could insert his fingers into my anus, I refused and they all became angry and started shouting and demonstrating to me the position which they wanted me to take, laughing, all were laughing, these police were having a good time. They pointed at my penis, making jokes, hurling abuse and insults at me, whilst I stood completely still and naked. Finally, when they finished laughing, one of the policemen threw my clothes onto the floor in front of me. I got dressed."
He was transferred to prison some hours later and in his letter claimed that during the night he started to experience severe pains in his chest, back and arms. He asked a prison guard if he could see a doctor but the request was refused and he claimed the guard kicked him. He was released on 30 December 1993. Medical reports indicated that since his release he had been experiencing recurrent pain in the area of his chest and right shoulder and had been receiving physiotherapy for an injury to the upper thoracic spine and his right shoulder girdle.
The allegation of "insult" in Switzerland can be used to stop people stating inconvenient truths. For example, if your boss takes credit for your work, you are not allowed to tell anybody because this might make your boss look bad.
I'm not sure if Beckert knows about the case of Trevor Kitchen and the sexual violence against him. But Beckert surely knows that Ian Murdock complained about police sexual violence shortly before committing suicide in 2015 (coroner report available).
The neck, head, face, torso and upper and lower extremities are described further under "Evidence of Injury."

BLUNT FORCE INJURIES: ...
From the Wikipedia article:
The last tweets from Murdock's Twitter account first announced that he would commit suicide, then said he would not. He reported having been accused of assault on a police officer after having been himself assaulted and sexually humiliated by the police, then declared an intent to devote his life to opposing police abuse.
Beckert is obviously aware of Murdock's suffering. How could he wish this on somebody else? How can a dirty man like Axel Beckert be employed in a university?
There is a Debian suicide cluster. One of the volunteers died on the same day Carla and I went to the church to get married. Why can't we write or speak about it? █
