Australian state of Victoria demands removal of online police body cam footage
By Didi Rankovic | Reclaim The Net | January 28, 2022
Rebel News journalist Avi Yemini is having to defend himself after deciding not to remove an online video the police in Australia’s state of Victoria want taken down.
Yemini revealed that he had a letter, signed by a Victoria Police Crime Squad detective sergeant, sent to his home, threatening that unless he complied and deleted the video, he could end up serving two years in prison.
The journalist published photos of the letter, which notified him of committing an “apparent” breach of the Surveillance Devices Act.
The letter asserts that information protected under this act appeared in a video Yemini uploaded to his YouTube channel in September, under the title, “Police bodycam proves the mainstream media is HIDING the truth.”
The police letter further states that knowingly publishing information obtained from police bodycams is an offense, and demands that he immediately remove the video from all public forums, or face charges.
If found guilty, Yemini could be sent to prison for two years maximum, be forced to pay a fine, defined as “240 penalty units maximum” – or both.
But Yemini, who says he has previously been arrested, assaulted, and intimidated by the police for his work, has decided to fight back, as another letter, this one penned by his legal representative, shows. It reads that under a subsection of the act the police refer to as being violated, the footage used in the report was already in the public domain.
“In a free country, that would be the end of it. In fact, in a genuinely free country, I never would have received that threat letter from the police in the first place,” Yemini writes.
But the journalist doesn’t expect this outcome, and is instead ready to engage in a legal battle with the Victoria police, whom he says have “unlimited resources to bully anyone who doesn’t submit to them.”
“We’ve never lost a case yet, and I’ve never removed a story, even when a gangland lawyer tried to sue me. With your help, I promise not to cower in 2022 either,” Yemini concludes.

Is Israel Uniquely Evil?
By Irfan Chowdhury | Palestine Chronicle | July 18, 2020
… Israel has been carrying out the longest-running military occupation in modern history and the longest-running siege in modern history. These two facts alone render Israel unique in terms of the scope of its brutality and criminality.
There are other respects in which Israel stands out from other countries in its use of terror and violence; for example, it is one of the most aggressive countries in the world, having waged wars of aggression against Lebanon in 1978, 1982, 1993, 1996 and 2006, and against Gaza in 2004, 2006, 2008/9, 2012 and 2014, killing huge numbers of civilians in the process (all while issuing threats and carrying out various covert attacks against Iran, which are all in violation of the UN Charter). … continue

I would not pay any attention to Rebel News and the ISRAELI MOSSAD Army operative Agent AVI YEMENI who is controlled Opposition duping Australians. Why he is given any credibilty is beyond me, The man is an Infiltrator deceiving Australians into believiing he cares about their lives and freedoms when he openly stated he as very happy having killed many Palestinian Civilians. Bloody Israeli hypocrite. Ok to kill Palestinians and erpive them of their rights and freedoms but he goes onto Aussie streets filming how they are being treated by the Police etc. AVI YEMENI is a bloody under cover Plant working for the Zionist led Governent of Australia and no doubt he also has links to BNAI BRITH

I had never heard his name before but I was able to verify that he is indeed a zionist:
https://hodjasblog.one/avi-yemini-saadan-overlever-min-onkel-i-israel/
(The video is in English)
It is still unclear to me whether he is controlled opposition.
I also found this:
“Rukshan started filming Morgan Jonas at the start who along with Yemini are authors at Tommy Robinson News before 2020 and Avi has a longstanding connection/friendship with Tommy Robinson who has been associated with MI5 and Mossad, and declared he was a Zionist. And has a long history of fake arrests.
Interestingly, given Yemeni’s fake ‘arrest’ and Jonas by police, Robinson also has a history of media-hyped arrests, that shine a spotlight on right wing extremism in the UK and make excuses for increased surveillance and fascist control of people.”

It makes me very suspicious but unfortunately it does not provide hard indications.
