A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
UK defense contractor BAE selling surveillance gear to Emirates – report | 27 Aug 2016 | The Danish subsidiary of a British defense contractor is selling surveillance gear to the United Arab Emirates, according to documents obtained by a Danish newspaper. The deal has sparked fears that the system will be used to repress political opponents. The papers from the Danish Business Authority show that it issued an export permit last month to BAE Systems Applied Intelligence A/S, which gives the company the right to sell an “IP monitoring and data analysis system relating to national security and the investigation of serious crimes” to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Dagbladet Information reported. The documents also show that BAE Systems already delivered such a system to the regime sometime before December 31, 2014, and that the new license is for “extension service, support, testing, and maintenance.”
