On 6 December 2021, a UK team filed a criminal complaint on behalf of the people with the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (“ICC”). The complaint states: “The seriousness and extent of the crimes committed in the United Kingdom, highlighted by the scope of people that these crimes affect, that these crimes continue to be committed, the wide range of perpetrators, the recurring patterns of criminality and the limited prospects for accountability at the national level, all weigh heavily in favour of an investigation.”

On 23 December we published an update shared by a member of the UK team who filed the complaint on our behalf, retired police officer Mark Sexton, which stated, among other things, that a Detective Sergeant and Police Constable have been allocated to assess the complaint and the  Metropolitan Police and the allocated officers have been provided details of the ICC application.

On 2 January 2022 Sexton shared a further update on his Facebook page.  Below is a copy of his update:

Update, 02/01/2022

All Chief Constables in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales are now aware of the live criminal complaint/investigation with The Metropolitan Police, the allocated crime number and the ICC application to The Hague and their acknowledgment.

They were all emailed (some already acknowledging) on the 23rd of December.

Also, Sadiq Khan, Mayor and Police crime commissioner for London was emailed on the 27th of December and made aware of the above.

On Wednesday the 29th I was advised there would be contact from his office, follow up contact by phone (twice) on Thursday with promises made to call me back didn’t materialise.

Tel; 0207 983 4000 Email: enquiries@mopac.london.gov.uk

This will be chased up first thing Tuesday morning.

The email sent to Sadiq Khan is attached below. (He was forwarded the same email sent to all the Chief Constables).

There is now no excuse for the Police from any force or the Mayor of London to ignore our calls to stop the v program as a matter of urgency.

This is being made public to assist and encourage all of the victims who want to make criminal complaints to come forward and do so. This information can be provided to the Police as supporting proof of a live criminal investigation taking place by The Metropolitan Police.

The Police and the Mayor are public servants and they have a duty of care to protect us from harm, injury, death and loss. Let’s make sure they are contacted and reminded accordingly and please demand the V program is stopped immediately.

A couple of days after Sexton’s latest update, The Bernician announced that the People’s Union of Britain (“PUB”) will be collaborating with Sexton stating, “we have agreed to take the following course of action [as listed in the article], to expedite the progress towards our mutual objectives.”

“We will also be doing whatever we can to help oil the wheels of another criminal complaint made by Mark, Hannah Rose, Philip Hyland, Lois Baylis and Dr Sam White, this time to the International Criminal Court (“ICC”), arguing that the UK Government and others are engaged in various crimes against humanity,” The Bernician wrote.
