A 94-year-old peaceful protester and war veteran has won an eight-year legal battle to have his details removed from a police “extremism” database.

John Catt, who has regularly attended public demonstrations since 1948, had been fighting to remove his personal details and information about his attendance at various protests from police records.

The political campaigner from Brighton, East Sussex, has no criminal record.

He argued that his details being held on the National Domestic Extremism Database was unlawful and breached his right to privacy under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Mr Catt had been involved with the campaign group Smash EDO – which aimed to shut down the US-owned company’s weapons factory in Brighton – and was twice arrested at demonstrations for obstructing a public highway.

However, he had never been charged with a crime, nor accused of any violence or direct involvement in criminal activities by Smash EDO, according to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruling.

Mr Catt’s lawyer, Shamik Dutta, said the ruling set “an important precedent that it is unlawful for governments across Europe to label citizens engaged in peaceful protest ‘domestic extremists’ and put them on a searchable database for a potentially indefinite period”.

He also noted the importance of the ECHR “in protecting privacy and the right to protest in the UK”.

Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesperson Ed Davey agreed the judgment showed the “crucial role the ECHR plays in protecting British rights and freedoms”.

“The UK should be championing human rights around the world, not violating the rights of its own citizens,” he said. “Keeping an innocent protestor’s personal details on a ‘domestic extremism’ database for years – and refusing to delete them – is a clear breach of his privacy. As today’s judgment states, it is also a breach of the UK’s commitment to uphold human rights.

“While the police must have the powers and resources to keep us all safe, there must also be proper safeguards for the privacy of innocent people.”

Mr Catt took his court battle to Europe after Supreme Court justices in the UK overturned an earlier ruling in his favour.

He learned his information was being held when he made a subject access request to the police under the Data Protection Act 1998 in March 2010.

He discovered 66 entries between March 2005 and October 2009 that mentioned him on an “extremism database”.

This included records of his attendance at Smash EDO demonstrations, a demonstration at the 2007 Labour Party conference, a pro-Gaza demonstration and a demonstration against “New Labour” organised by trade unions in 2009.

Mr Catt’s name, date of birth, address and presence at the events were recorded by police.

A picture of him was also stored and in some cases his appearance was described.

He asked the Association of Chief Police Officers to delete the entries but was refused without explanation.

After a 2012 report on undercover police operations designed to obtain intelligence about protest movements concluded Mr Catt’s information was being unnecessarily stored, many of the entries referencing him were removed.

In March 2013, Mr Catt won his case at the Court of Appeal after a defeat at the High Court in the previous year.

The Court of Appeal judges decided his information had been held for a “disproportionate” length of time, despite being first retained lawfully.

However, a subsequent case in the Supreme Court ruled in favour of police lawyers.

Mr Catt described his fight as being “for the sake of other innocent people who lawful political activities are being monitored by the state”.

“This is an example of the erosion of freedom and a violation of private life,” he said.

Norwegian Air Argentina S.A.U. is an Argentinianlow-cost airline owned by Norwegian Air Shuttle. The airline operates Boeing 737-800 aircraft, with bases in Buenos Aires and Córdoba. All aircraft are registered in Argentina.[3]

History[edit]

Norwegian Air Argentina was established on 25 January 2017,[3] in order to access future traffic rights to and from Argentina and South America for the parent company. Norwegian Air Shuttle, Norwegian Air International, Norwegian Air UK and Norwegian Air Argentina share the same branding under the Norwegian Group.

The airline took delivery of its first aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, in mid-January 2018, and gained its air operator's certificate later that month.[4][5] The aircraft was transferred from Norwegian's Irish subsidiary Norwegian Air International, and its Anders Celsiustailfin portrait was replaced by a portrait of Astor Piazzola, an Argentinian musician.[4][6] However, according to Bjørn Kjos, the parent company's CEO, due to delays in Boeing 737 MAX deliveries resulting in further delays to the airline starting service, the aircraft was transferred back to operate on the Norwegian Group's network in Europe while the start of operations was moved from August 2018 to October 2018.[7]

In August 2018, Bjørn Kjos announced that the airline would begin selling tickets from 4 September 2018, for flights beginning service on 16 October 2018.[8] Upon ticket reservations opening, the first planned services were revealed to operate from Buenos Aires Aeroparque to Córdoba, Mendoza, Neuquén, Puerto Iguazú, Salta, and San Carlos de Bariloche.[9] In preparation for the inaugural start of operations, the airline's first Boeing 737-800 was transferred back from Norwegian Air International and flown from Stockholm Arlanda Airport to Ezeiza International Airport between 5 and 6 October 2018, with technical stops at Gran Canaria Airport and Greater Natal International Airport, before the aircraft was ferried to Aeroparque Jorge Newbery on 15 October 2018.[10]

On 16 October 2018, Norwegian Air Argentina inaugurated service with three daily round trip flights; the first flight operated as flight DN 6022 from Buenos Aires Aeroparque to Córdoba, taking off at 07:41 and landing at 08:45 local time, followed by a round trip flight from Buenos Aires to Mendoza and a second daily frequency to Córdoba.[2]

In April 2019, following the grounding of the Norwegian Group's Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, the airline transferred one of its Boeing 737-800 aircraft back to Norwegian Air International to assist with the Norwegian Group's operations in Europe.[11] In June 2019, the airline announced service to five additional destinations from Buenos Aires Aeroparque to begin from September 2019, consisting of Comodoro Rivadiva, Puerto Madryn, San Salavador de Jujuy, Trelew, and Ushuaia.[12]

Destinations[edit]

Topcat Aircraft Database Update Statement

On 25 October 2017, the National Civil Aviation Administration granted the airline permission to begin operations on 152 of the 156 routes it requested.[13][14][15][16] The airline has also applied and been given approval for flights from Buenos Aires to Perth and has also requested to extend the flight to Singapore. This flight would route around Antarctica, taking advantage of the winds circling the continent.[17]

As of June 2019, the airline operates to the following destinations:
