Furia dupa atacul asupra liniei Tube „vizat de infractorii sexuali din lipsa CCTV”

146

O femeie care a fost agresata sexual pe metroul din Londra a condamnat faptul ca nu exista camere CCTV pe linia Tube unde s-a intamplat incidentul.

Campanii afirma ca este „foarte ingrijorator”, nu exista camere CCTV nici pe linia centrala – linia de pe London Tube unde are loc cel mai mare numar de agresiuni sexuale – sau linia Bakerloo.

O femeie in varsta de 23 de ani, care a cerut sa ramana anonima, a spus ca a fost agresata sexual pe linia centrala, in drum spre serviciu la 8 dimineata trecuta.

Ea a spus: „A fost o ora grabita si am fost al doilea cel mai aproape de usa, dar un barbat era in spatele meu. M-am gandit ca este geanta lui care se prinde de mine, dar apoi mi-am dat seama ca este o erectie. L-am simtit cum ar fi capatat asupra mea. El m-a apucat de talie pentru a ma apropia de el. Am 5ft 3in si el avea aproximativ 6 ft 2in. Am fost intr-un astfel de soc. Creierul meu nu functiona.

„Cand mai multi oameni urcau in tren, el trebuia sa opreasca ceea ce facea. Ma uitam la el si eram cu ochii lacrimi. Am incercat sa-i fac o fotografie – prost sau cu curaj. Mana imi tremura. Dar si-a pus bratul peste fata.

„Cand am ajuns pe Liverpool Street, am plecat sa incerc sa-i fac o alta fotografie cu el, dar a fugit pe scarile rulante, asa ca am renuntat sa-l urmaresc. In acel moment, m-am dezlantuit plangand si m-am dus sa-l sun pe tata sa-i spun ce s-a intamplat. Ma simt ingrozitor, nelinistit, suparat, furios si confuz de atunci. Am avut atacuri de panica in tren. ”

Tanara, care a spus ca are sensul ca barbatul a agresat sexual femeile inainte, a spus ca a mers direct la Politia britanica de transport pentru a raporta incidentul.

Ea a spus: „Politistul a spus:„ Stiu ca aceasta nu este nicio consolare, dar aceasta este o intamplare regulata pe linia centrala. El a spus: „Nu exista CCTV pe linia centrala, asa ca barbatii stiu ca pot sansa”. Dar acest lucru este ridicol – gasiti o solutie. Am sunat la Transport pentru Londra. Fumam. ”

She said when she asked both the police officer and then the person from Transport for London why there was no CCTV, they both told her it was because the trains are old. The police advised her against taking the case to court due to not having CCTV footage, she added.

“Luckily, work have said I can come in later so I don’t have to get on the same train as him. But why is it me having to change my daily lifestyle and my way of thinking?” she said. “Now when I see schoolchildren getting on the Central line by themselves, I feel worried for them.”

No hype, just the advice and analysis you need

Figures taken from reports made to the London transport network’s flagship text message service between July 2016 and January 2018 show there were 348 reported incidents on the London Underground alone, of which 100 were on the Central line – nearly double that of the next most reported line, the Victoria line at 55.

Rachel Krys, co-director of End Violence Against Women, said: “We know the perpetrators of sexual assault do it repeatedly and they learn where it is safe for them to do it and where they are not going to get caught and they use that to victimise and assault women.

“It is not accidental. It is perfectly possible to stand next to someone and not assault them. It is not always opportunistic. We are talking about predatory behaviours and people who use the system in order to assault women.

“We need a concerted effort by TfL and the police to make sure there aren’t no-go areas for women on public transport. The entire transport system should be a no-go area for men who sexually assault women.”

Sian Berry, the co-leader of the Green Party who has been a London Assembly member since 2016, said: “More people use buses but the proportion of sexual assault on the Tube is so much higher. This is possibly because it is an enclosed space.

“Perpetrators are probably not doing it on the way to the work and will be targeting the Tube – a lot of people are serial offenders. If they are targeting lines that don’t have CCTV, that is very worrying – and that is why it is so important people report. It should be a high priority to introduce CCTV. If there was a safety issue that might cause trains to crash, they would deal with it.

This is a safety issue as it can harm passengers. It needs to be dealt with, with urgency.”

The Central and Bakerloo trains are the only two underground routes without onboard CCTV. While TfL says the former line will be equipped with CCTV by 2023, they could not give a date for the Bakerloo line.

Siwan Hayward, director of policing for TfL, said: “There is an extensive network of more than 77,000 CCTV cameras operating across London’s transport network, with 3,000 police and police community support officers dedicated to catching offenders. Anyone who experiences or witnesses a crime should report it immediately by texting 61016, as every single report matters and helps build a picture of the offender so they can be caught and brought to justice.”

They said all of their passengers have the right to travel without fear or intimidation and they were aware that for too long these crimes have gone unreported, but their Report It to Stop It campaign had meant the number of people reporting these “disgusting crimes” is increasing.

A representative for British Transport Police confirmed they were investigating the alleged assault.

“We take every report of unwanted sexual behaviour seriously and have specially trained officers to find those responsible. Thankfully, the rail network is CCTV-rich and we use this extensive network of cameras to catch offenders and make it a hostile environment from perpetrators to operate,” they said in a statement.
