Nassau County (just east of New York City) has arrested a protester for wearing a keffiyeh, and allegedly concealing his face with it.

To harass nonviolent protesters who are not menacing anyone for concealing their identity is an attack on human rights.

Shooting protesters who are not threatening anyone is a repeating passtime of israeli snipers near the village of Beita. A report lists 15 other instances.

Typically the victims are not near any Israelis, and walking away from them.

The limit on tourists visiting Soain's Atlantic Islands National Park

Requires every visitor to give name and national ID number (or passport number). And the only way to apply is on a web form.

This is one more little brick in a wall of Orwellian surveillance, imposed gratuitously.

It would be very little work to sell permits at some physical stores and avoid the surveillance. But once a country gives everyone a national ID number, every activity's managers find it convenient to add another brick to the wall of Orwellian surveillance. It comes to seem "normal", so no one hesitates to impose this on everyone else.

Contrast Spain's park with the Boston Aquarium, which I visited recently. It sells entry tickets for specific times, and encourages people to buy them by internet — but you can go there and buy a ticket for whatever future slots are available. I did that anonymously, paying cash.

This shows the need to organize to demand the right to be anonymous.
