Scottish CensusCACI Ltd, a UK subsidiary of a company that has been involved in interrogating prisoners at Abu Ghraib Prison, was contracted to carry out key work for Scotland's 2011 Census. CACI have so far blocked all attempts by former Abu Ghraib prisoners to hold them to account in US courts for their actions in Iraq.
Countless Scots either refused to fill in their census form in protest, or sent in partially completed forms. Refusing to answer census
questions is a criminal offence under the Census Act 1920. But just 5 people have been prosecuted. They are being victimised so that the
Register Office can save face. |
