(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL #242 - Testimonial: For a blanket denial of DNA FILING (fr, pt)

[machine translation]

Currently, 30,000 people a month are recorded in a genetic database (Fnaeg), more than two 
million people have been of a DNA sample during police custody or detention. A growing 
number of people say no to this control logic. Testimony of an opposite for the airport 
project of Notre Dame-des-Landes activist. ---- As part of the fight against the airport 
project of Notre-Dame-des-Landes, I was arrested as a result of collective action. to 
those who demanded my DNA, I always answered "my genes belong to me." Despite the threat 
of being sentenced to one year in prison and a 15,000 euro fine, I oppose with 
determination to blackmail organized by the state. ---- Why do so many genes? ---- Indeed, 
the legislature has provided that escape the biological sample is a continuing offense, a 
perpetual offense. Nothing except a casual or grace can we extract from this vicious 
circle. Already sentenced to prison terms, suspended from one to two months, I just say no 
to the attorney for the third time for the same case. I expect a new trial... and why not 
at the end, to a prison sentence. The State made me a repeat offender and seeks to break 
me and exhaust movement support. Given this well-oiled legal system, we can not hope to 
halt the machine by massive and widespread refusal.

Why State justifies the filing away the people? Knowing that our genes are talkative and 
they learn about our ethno-geographical origins as well parentage, genetics, pathology, we 
fear the worst. If I agree to be played, they are my parents, children, brothers and 
sisters who will be stuck with me. This is a gear that creates a world of suspicion where 
the presumption of innocence is relegated into the depths of closets justice by the 
charlatans of irrefutable evidence, which always come out the specter of a heinous crime 
for we do accept the fear the power almost universal across the population surveillance. 
Scientistic frenzy around DNA is animated by a spirit of conquest and the myth of total 
control. Scientists have discovered our genes, conquistadors policy colonize our lives.

Tell Resist

With the media coverage of my trial, I found the lack of information on this subject, 
including among militants. Leaflets circulating[1], responsible for accurate and valuable 
information. But the struggle must go through our personal stories, our refusal DNA 
FILING. For the mobilization get bigger, more tracks are to be studied:

- Organize general assembly of the refusal of DNA FILING where lawyers, judges, 
scientists, philosophers, artists, activists and stuck all kinds could analyze and search 
for ideas to act effectively the implications of FILING;

- Create a simple and accessible document explaining the dangers of DNA FILING and can be 
widely disseminated (schools, facs, poor neighborhoods, demonstrations...)

? revive a campaign to get people registered to require abolition Fnaeg their data on 
behalf of individual and collective freedoms.

When the stakes of this FILING be clearly stated, the objectives of general refusal and 
abolition of Fnaeg be achievable.
