Greek Emmy assaulting other activists?

I sort of find it hard to believe that I am having to write this but after hearing two reports in the last week of @greekemmy assaulting other activists I asked her and then having got no reply I asked her again adding that if I didn’t get a reply I would be asking the Westminster Magistrate Court, Courage Found and Wikileaks to look into it.

Now firstly I should point out to Emmy? that what happened after I posted my question wasn’t expected and really wasn’t the reaction I was looking for. I definitely didn’t expect all the other people to immediately jump into the thread and start lodging complaints about her. I don’t know her from a bar of soap but if others aren’t going to stick their heads out about the gate keeping and bullying and other bullshit that is and has gone on in the Assange support community then I will.

That being said the first report I heard was passed to me in yesterday morning and was an article written by a Polish? woman about going to support Julian Assange at one of his hearings. You can read an archived copy of it here.

In the article there are apparently instances involving Emmy,

  • Orchestrating activists to hold seats for others in court.
  • Demanding the names and contact details of people attending the court.
  • Doing the above in a manner imitating that of a police officer.
  • Negotiating with the guards to give precedence to her friends.
  • And assaulting other activists.

None of which is good behaviour and none of which should be allowed or minimised. To make things worse there is also a rumour that she is paid by the Courage Found so if the above activities are true then they also cast a shadow on the reputation of the Courage Found.

Unfortunately, Emmy decided not to try and defend herself or explain but instead decided to block me so tonight I have sent letters to both the Westminster Magistrates Court and Courage Found. These letters are below.

Oh, and if people are unhappy with me mailing the courts about a Julian Assange supporter then they should really look at the people who allowed this to happen. The chief of which is Emmy herself who instead of responding either privately or publicly chose instead to say nothing. And yes, I know she saw it because she blocked me last night on Twitter.

Furthermore, if people have more stories of bullying, etc…in the community then they can contact me anonymously at the Iris Café.

Westminster Magistrates Court letter

Dear Sir, although not involved myself it appears that at the hearing of Julian Assange on the 12st October 2019 there were a number of incidents that the court should be made aware of. I am unsure which of the incidents actually break court rules but in the order they are given,

  • Activists holding seats for others in an orchestrated manner.
  • An activist demanding the names and contact details of people attending the court.
  • The same activist doing so in a manner imitating that of a police officer.
  • The same activist negotiating with the guards to give precedence to her friends.
  • The same activist assaulting another (minor).

These are all referenced by a woman who was at the hearing. English is unfortunately not her first language.

I am however trying to contact her to see whether or not she will provide an affidavit as there a report of the activist in question assaulting another woman at another protest. Currently the only name I know for the assailant is @greekemmy as that is her Twitter handle.

I hope that in the future you are able to provide a safer environment for the public if what is described as happening is corroborated by camera footage or witnesses.

Yours Faithfully,

Courage Found letter

It has been brought to my attention that the activist known on Twitter as
GreekEmmy has apparently been,

  • Orchestrating activists to hold seats for others in court.
  • Demanding the names and contact details of people attending the court.
  • Doing the above in a manner imitating that of a police officer.
  • Negotiating with the guards to give precedence to her friends.
  • And assaulting other activists.

This appears to have gone on with Courage Founds assent according to her
article (shorturl.at/dfnv5). There are also rumours that this has happened
before and that she is an employee of Courage Found.

Personally, I would like to know if this is true. Currently I am trying to
contact the woman and encouraging the second woman to lodge charges or at
least a complaint with the police. If she is an employee of Courage Found
then please contact me and I will put you in touch with at least one of the
other woman.

Whatever happens, there appears to be a lot of bullying and worse going on the
activist community. Can you please help sort it out?

Yours faithfully,
