Chapters 6-11 of Torture and Democracy cover the entire history of electrical instruments used for torture, including two chapters specifically on tasers and stun guns (chapters 10 and 11) in the United States and elsewhere.

Update: 16th
November, 2016
After publishing the
Resist Cardiac Arrest blog-post back in February 2010, I spent a long time
writing to my Member of Parliament at Westminster, trying to get him to take up
the issues that I was presenting to him.
I informed him of the UN’s definition of taser as a weapon of torture
and asked for his opinion of taser’s legality.
Andrew George MP, Liberal Democrat, would not respond properly or get
involved in any way with this issue.
I eventually had a
small victory when I got the British Government to admit that stun-guns are lethal
weapons. I’ll put a link to this below,
plus some other articles relating to this.
I have always believed
that the UN’s statement defining the taser x-26 as a weapon of torture
automatically made the weapon illegal in any nation that had signed the
UNCAT. The problem is that the treaty,
the law, is not being properly
applied by signatory national governments.
When the police in my
local area of Cornwall tortured a man with a taser, on film, I started a
complaint process, which led me to Penzance police station. Due to the lie I was told there, my complaint
was not heard by the British police. I
was told that evidence derived from the internet was not admissible, therefore
they would not look at my complaint.
This is obviously what we in Britain call ‘bullshit’, or a lie, as
people have been imprisoned in this state for displaying artworks of burning poppies
on ‘social media’, so obviously police monitor and prosecute people for ‘cyber-crime’. It just does not apply when it’s a video on
youtube of two fat cops torturing a little thin bloke in front of a large crowd
of witnesses. So anyway, having checked
out British justice, I decided to go international and take it to Geneva. The UN informed me that they couldn’t look
into it because Britain never signed
Article 22 of the UNCAT, that actually admits UN investigators into a signatory
nation. This little oversight
occurred, surprisingly enough, under the Thatcher regime.
As the years went by,
I got involved in other battles and slightly put the stun-gun issue aside. However, earlier this year, I interviewed my
new MP, the Conservative, Derek Thomas.
It’s an hour-long youtube video, covering various matters. At one point I raised the UNCAT with him and
he said he’d raise it with the British government. Nothing happened for many months, but I
recently started pressuring him again, and he’s now promised to respond soon… I’ll certainly publish anything of interest
he has to say about taser and UNCAT and why it has never been properly
implemented in Great Britain.
I believe citizens of
other countries should find out whether or not their governments are
perpetrating the same fraud as the British government continues do to. Find out if your politicians ever signed
Article 22 of UNCAT and if not, challenge them.
We are humans, not cattle,
and deserve to be treated with kindness and humanity, not prodded around and
zapped by people with no understanding of international law.
Another case I have been very concerned
about recently is that of Harold Hempstead, the ‘Caged Crusader’ of Florida and
his courageous mission to expose the serious crimes of the Florida Department
of Corrections, including the torture-murder of Darren Rainey, an emotionally
disturbed black Muslim man who was killed in a special heat-chamber. Please see my blog-posts on this, including
an interview I conducted with Harold.
The world needs to hear this story.
Anyone wishing to take action on this could consider writing to Vanita
Gupta at the Department of Justice in Washington D.C., Civil Rights Division,
and ask her to take action on the several sworn affidavits exposing systematic
human rights abuses in violation of the U.S. Constitution. You could also consider contacting Amnesty
International and asking them why they have not started a massive campaign to
get justice for Darren Rainey, Harold Hempstead and all the inmates whose lives
are in danger from the State of Florida.
The only reason they could give me was that they were rearranging their
office.
When I’m not doing activism I do various
artforms. My art-paper is called The
Caterpillar and comes out monthly. It is
also remixed into a Dub Version.
Recently I published my first ebook.
It’s an anthology of fiction and poetry.
The main item is the gothic surrealist novel, The Kramvil. You can get it from almost all ebook
distributors. It’s called The Horned
Whale or An Morvil Kornek by Jeremy Schanche.
ISBN: 9780993490910.
What I’m thinking right now is ‘don’t
wait for leadership – figure out your own strategy and get on with it’.
Solidarity, Jeremy Schanche, Kernow, Britain.
