#Akwesasne8 DISMISSED. #NewYorkPowerAuthority fails to produce documents necessary to move forward.

By Akwesasne 8, via #CensoredNews, Nov. 12, 2024

"The charges of Conspiracy to a Felony, and #Trespassing against the six of the Akwesasne 8, who appeared today, were dismissed today at Massena Town Court. The District Attorney stated that New York Power Authority (#NYPA) did not produce appropriate documents to move forward

"Researchers for the Akwesasne 8 had gone to the St. Lawrence County Office for Deeds and Records to find a Deed/Land Title showing NYPA ownership. There is no record. When discovery documents were offered to the Akwesasne 8, each asked whether the documents contained a Title to the land on which the Akwesasne 8 were arrested. The District Attorney implied such documents were not part of the discovery packets.

"In March 2022, Federal Judge Kahn of the Northern New York District of US Federal Court, ruled that New York State possession of #Mohawk land is a violation of the #NonintercourseAct which prohibits land transfer of Indian land to non-Indians without Congressional approval.

"On May 22, 2024 eight Kanienke’háka were arrested for Trespassing at #Niionenhiasekówahne (Barnhart Island). Seven of the eight were charged with Conspiracy to a Felony. One person was charged with a Felony.
There is a long history of #Onkwehonwe relations to Niionenhiasekowá:ne (Barnhart Island) - from the Dish With One Spoon Agreement, to Onkwehonwe families living on the island, and continue today through Kanienke’háka assertion of hunting, fishing, tree tapping, and #MedicineGathering liberties.

"The Akwesasne Mohawk #LandClaimSettlement agreement seeks to sever Onkwehonwe relationship to Niionenhiasekowá:ne, formally ceding the island's title to New York State for $70 million and subjecting our hunting and gathering rights to foreign governments.
The Onkwehonwe that began construction at Niionenhiasekowá:ne acted in assertion of Kanienke’háka inherent and original rights as well as the pre-existing governance of Kaienerekowa.

“'The Band Council, Tribe, state and federal governments are outside Kaienerekowa governance as younger governmental entities cannot and will not ostracize us from our lands and waters,' said one of the Akwesasne 8.

"'We are going back to Niionenhiasekowá:ne because it is Kanienke’háka land,' a group of the Akwesasne 8 stated."

'There will be many #footpaths simply lost'

"Thousands of miles of footpaths could be lost due to a massive backlog in local councils dealing with applications, campaigners say.

"The government has set a deadline of 2031 for all rights of way in England to be added to an official map.

"But data gathered by the BBC suggests nearly 8,000 requests to get public paths and bridleways added to the map have not been processed – and some date back to the 1980s.

"The government said processing applications was the responsibility of local authorities."

[...]

"'We’ve got tens of thousands of miles of public rights of way that are not recorded or protected across #England and #Wales.'

"'If we have a deadline then there will be many paths that are simply lost.'"

Things I see from American Mastidon that remind me how different things are there from how they are here. Apart from the obvious #guns weirdness.
The concept of #trespassing in wide open spaces just doesn't really register. I have the right to go most places and don't expect to be challenged.
#JayWalking and the idea that pedestrians are always at fault. Seems odd to me. Don't American drivers have any responsibility not to kill people? #America #Scotland

Mal schnell über die Gleise? In Schottland werden fürs #Trespassing 1000 Pfund fällig. Ein Schnapper verglichen mit dem Baskenland. Beim #Euskotren nimmt man 6000 €. Bietet jemand noch mehr?

It is so nice to see the property owners have installed this new gate

The old gate had been abused by people who visited their property for fishing
 
The property owners like people who fish - they post two signs: “No trespassing” and “Fishing allowed”. So, grateful

Please don’t damage this gate again

#US States Take Aim at Protesters’ Rights

Right to Peaceful Assembly at Risk

by Jonathan Pedneault, February 16, 2021

"#Peaceful #protests are protected by the #UnitedStates Constitution’s First Amendment as well as #international #HumanRights law. But a legislative assault aimed at eroding these protections is underway in several state legislatures.

"It’s nothing new. Various states have long-tried to curtail the right to #protest. They do so by legislating wide definitions of what constitutes an 'unlawful assembly' or a 'riot' as well as increasing punishments. They also allow police to use catch-all public offenses, such as #trespassing, obstructing traffic, or disrupting the peace, as a pretext for ordering dispersals, using force, and making arrests. Finally, they make it easier for #corporations and others to bring lawsuits against #protest organizers.

"While proportionate restrictions on the right of peaceful assembly, like creating buffer zones around abortion clinics to ensure access, may be necessary, the use of catch-all offenses against peaceful #demonstrators or the imposition of increased penalties to deter assemblies are not.

"At a time of large mobilizations across the US, attempts by states to deter and impose criminal penalties on peaceful protesters should be stopped.

"According to the US Protest Law Tracker, created by the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law, there are currently 51 bills under consideration in 24 state legislatures, including as many as 10 in #Oklahoma, that they warn would threaten the right to assemble peacefully.

"Among the proposed laws are nine, including three in Oklahoma, that the Tracker reports would provide civil and/or criminal immunity for drivers injuring or killing protesters unlawfully disrupting traffic and one stand-your-ground bill in #NewHampshire that would allow deadly force against protesters 'likely' to use 'any' degree of unlawful force during a riot.

"Other bills would increase penalties for participating in unlawful protests, something that happens automatically in many jurisdictions once someone marches without a permit, or for committing an offense – including jaywalking or trespassing – while in an unlawful assembly.

"International human rights law protects the right of peaceful assembly and requires authorities at all levels to facilitate such assemblies and avoid unnecessary or disproportionate restrictions on them. The mere act of planning or participating in a protest should not be criminalized. Authorities are also required to protect people participating in such assemblies – bills that encourage or allow violence against protesters are inconsistent with those obligations, and states should abandon them."

What, except being jailed for #Trespassing and being labeled a "Security Risk" by every single Airline and Airport will this achieve?
