| Occupy Melbourne: Tent Protest Costume Violently Stripped from Protester's Body | |
| Uploaded by RynChristoph on Dec 5, 2011 This morning at 8:45am a peaceful Occupy Melbourne Protester was violently stripped of her protest costume and disgarded on the ground in her bra and panties. The individual in question was part of the Occupy Melbourne protest and was dressed in a protest costume made from a converted tent. The significance of the costume was to hightlight restrictions placed on protesters staging a 24/7 protest in Flagstaff Gardens. The protester was surrounded by at least 4 Melbourne City Council officers and 8 Victorian police officers Her movement was restricted by the formation of officers surrounding her and she was subsequently restrained as officers proceeded with aggressively removing her costume. At each stage she declared that she did not consent or feel comfortable with the actions of the council and police officers, stating that this was a sexual assault."This is not consensual' Her requests and declarations were ignored as officers continued to rip and jossle her costume and person. A knife was requested and used by MCC Officers as the Protest Costume was cut from her body. The remaining severed costume was violently torn from her body while the protester herself was disgarded, semi-naked and crying on the ground as Vic police and MCC officers walked away with the costume.NO EFFORT was made to assess her health or welling after the incident. From The Raw Story: Police rip clothes off female ‘Occupy Melbourne’ protester By David Edwards Tuesday, December 6, 2011 Print 50 Occupy Melbourne 'tent monster' stripped by police Topics: Ethical Standards Department ? melbourne ? Occupy Melbourne A female protester has officially complained after police in Melbourne forcibly removed the tent dress she was wearing, leaving her nearly naked on the gound. The woman, named Sarah, was one of several Occupy “tent monsters” who decided to wear their tents as a creative way to keep police from confiscating them. In several videos posted to YouTube Monday, at least seven male and female Melbourne Council rangers began disrobing the young woman. “This is not consensual,” Sarah said. “Don’t take my clothes off!” The woman yelled as officers ripped and tore the tent dress until she was left in only her bra and panties. As she sat on the ground trying to cover herself, the police quickly turned and exited the park, neglecting to see if she was hurt. “The Ethical Standards Department has subsequently received a physical assault complaint in relation to this incident and is investigating,” Victoria Police said in a statement. “As this investigation is ongoing we will not be commenting further.” Tal Slome, a spokeswoman for Occupy Melbourne, explained that the action was a “completely unnecessary form of brutality” because police knew she was only wearing underwear beneath the tent. “Who decides what constitutes clothing in our society?” she asked. In late October, police violently attempted to evict protesters from City Square. About 20 activists were arrested. Watch this video from RynChristoph, uploaded Dec. 5, 2011. | |
