Rebel

'Rebel' was the name given to the youth wing of the Socialist Workers Party, which was in existence in the late 1970s. There are a handful of SDS reports on the group. The subject of the SDS spying on minors can be found here. SDS reporting on politically active minors There are many examples of SDS surveillance of children, legally defined in the UK as anyone under the age of 18. The reporting falls into two broad categories. The first is this one, the targeting of groups that had predominantly non-adult participants, such as the Schools Action Union and School Kids Against the Nazis, or those who attended other political groups. Secondly there is reporting that mentions children's names, for instance young relatives of adults that the SDS was spying on. A third smaller category focusses on spycops babysitting for activists, not necessarily in reporting per se, but the issue is flagged up as a general safeguarding issue.
