Today I was swarmed by EIGHT armed police officers who took me off the train for a "random" control. They literally entered the train as a group and went straight for me.
They said I was being taken to their office to avoid the embarrassment of being searched on the platform, yet insisted I go when I said I'm fine being searched in public.
They didn't let me contact my lawyer. They said I'm not being detained yet I wasn't free to leave and it was mandatory.
In their office they wanted me to fill out a form. I wasn't allowed to speak with my lawyer, take a photograph of it or get a blank copy of the doc they wanted me to fill. They said because it is a federal document. I told them I'm not comfortable and refused.
All of this apparently random when I ask them, but when enough of these random coincidences start happening it doesn't seem random but targeted. My travel problems are spreading, and I keep getting detained and questioned many hours at airports in "random" spot checks. In Mexico I even saw they have a special file on me.
Even flying back home recently the airline was insisting I show evidence of employment including a written document signed by the director right before the flight! The airline just invented additional requirements and 5 staff were busy making phonecalls but told kept reassuring me its all standard business.
I was debanked as a tech founder. I cannot open any bank account in the UK anymore. No explanation was given, just "here's a check, now leave".
Worst yet I'm being harassed at airports. Detained for many hours, questioned and arbitrary restrictions created for me. I was told I'm not allowed to return to my home in Switzerland due to needing a visa. I'm a UK citizen, I don't need a fucking visa plus I'm a legal resident there.
I've also been approached by agents at tech confs trying to get info from me.
We didn't even release darkfi yet and they're playing dirty!
