No One Above

@nooneaboveorg.bsky.social

This is the account of No One Above, a survivor led advocacy organization founded by survivors of organised abuse and trafficking by the Fayed network of perpetrators and organisations. www.nooneabove.org

The disgraceful history of what was known about the Fayeds – and by whom – has been assiduously documented by our courts, journalists, biographers, police, and in the heartbreaking testimony of victims. No One Above will be sharing more of what lies in plain sight. Thank you @sussexbylines.co.uk.

Who knew what, and when? Survivor accounts of trafficking in the #Harrods case are shocking. We publish the first part today of a 2-part piece listing the individuals and institutions who knew and did nothing. If #AndyBurnham becomes PM will he finally see justice done? @nooneaboveorg.bsky.social

Yesterday, as Co‑Chair of the APPG for the Survivors of Fayed and Harrods, along with The Survivors Trust, we brought the Prime Minister together with more than 200 survivors. Their courage in speaking out is driving long‑overdue action. buff.ly/oqUX8pn

PM Meeting 200 Alleged Al Fayed Victims

The Prime Minister has been meeting 200 women who say they were abused by Mohammed Al Fayed, the Egyptian businessman who used to own Harrods.

NOA shares Anti-Slavery International's concern: the timing of disclosures of trafficking has nothing to do with survivors' crediblity. Fayed trafficking victims were isolated, traumatised, threatened, and compelled to sign NDAs. Early disclosure was made impossible.

We are extremely concerned about the update to the credibility section of the modern slavery statutory guidance published yesterday by the Home Office. ❓ But what is it?

"A formal trafficking investigation is not about one man in one room. It is about the entire apparatus – corporate, financial, legal, logistical, medical, and institutional – that made the room possible, made it repeatable and ensured that no one who entered it could easily leave or speak." 1/2

The Harrods case seen through the trafficking lens No One Above’s fight for National Referral Mechanism (NRM) recognition in the Al-Fayed case @sussexbylines.co.uk

This is a positive step but the Met must upgrade this to a full trafficking investigation, with sufficient resources. My constituent was one of the 100s of victims abused by Mohamed Al-Fayed & his cronies. They deserve justice, not token gestures. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Mohamed Al Fayed: Three women interviewed by police on suspicion of sex trafficking

The women have been interviewed under suspicion of aiding and abetting rape and human trafficking, the Met Police says.

As Co-Chair of the APPG for the Survivors of Fayed and Harrods, the need for the investigation to be widened to include trafficking has been a theme brought up often by survivors. I welcome this from former Met leaders & call on the current lead investigators to follow suit. buff.ly/7fOGQS0

Al Fayed abuse should be investigated as human trafficking, says former senior Met officer

Investigation into claims of sex abuse by the late Harrods owner should include trafficking, says former head of Met's Anti-Trafficking Unit.

My constituent was one of 100s of victims abused by Britain’s Epstein, Mohamed Al-Fayed & his cronies. I asked the Prime Minister to ensure sufficient resources are committed to fully investigating this multi-perpetrator, multi-jurisdictional, multi-decade trafficking outrage.

There was a UK Epstein. His name was Mohammed Fayed and Vanity Fair did go after him and then I spent two years investigating allegations of sexual abuse in defence of a libel suit. We proved the case beyond doubt. But this wasn't just about libel laws; police corruption was key to his survival.

Edward Lucas is dead right. If Epstein had been British he’d never have been exposed. Our libel law is an ongoing disgrace. www.thetimes.com/article/1786...
