The secret report Britain doesn't want its Arab citizens to see

A 2015 British government report on London's conduct during the Arab Spring remains classified until 2046, and Arab immigrants and Arab media outlets in London are demanding its publication. The British government opposes publication and defines the information as classified, while the demanders claim the concealment strengthens the suspicion that the government supported the dictators in the Middle East.

A British government report from 2015, documenting how the British government conducted itself during the Arab Spring, is classified until 2046. Arab immigrants who arrived in Britain in recent years, together with Arab media outlets based in London, are demanding that the report be published. They claim that publication would reveal that the British government supported the dictators in the Middle East and opposed their overthrow – a move seen in their eyes as hypocrisy on the part of a state that promotes the values of equality and democracy. The British government opposes publication and clarifies that this is classified information. According to what is claimed in the article, the very opposition increases the pressure and strengthens the claims of the immigrants and the Arab media. The article mentions a precedent: the Obama administration drew similar criticism for supporting Egyptian President Mubarak, but notes that the demographic situation in the US differs from that of Britain. The article notes that right-wing newspapers in Britain defined areas in London as "occupied" by Islam, and that demonstrations were held against immigrants. According to the article, the left-wing government headed by Andy Burnham continues to conceal the report, while the struggle to obtain it is not expected to stop.
