website in order to avoid further misunderstandings.”105 However, as of 16 November 2017, PKI 9360 stun cuffs were still being promoted on the company website.106 Following further correspondence from the Omega Research Foundation, PKI has now removed this marketing material from its website. In its response to Omega on 19 December 2017, the company restated that they “never sold these products”, and confirmed that “the new catalogues don’t include them anymore.”107 SECFOR (Switzerland) Image of the “Anti Scape Stun Belt” promoted by SECFOR on its website until April 2016. Until at least April 2016, the Swiss company SECFOR advertised the “Anti Scape Stun Belt” on its website. According to SECFOR’s “Anti Scape Stun Belt Factsheet” the “Stun Belt” is intended to be used by “prison department, police and security contracting companies.”, particularly in the “transport [of] prisoners and aggressors to prevent escape and to ensure personnel or innocent bystanders from attacks. The product is able to deter or immobilize a prisoner or aggressor in the process of restoring order with minimum force.”108 On activation the “Stun Belt” delivers a “high voltage, non-lethal, safe but effective shock [of over 50,000 volts] all round the belt”.109 The belt can be activated by remote control from up to 100 metres. The Factsheet claims that the “Stun Belt” has been “used by: prisons department, police and security contracting companies”,110 although no details are given of the specific entities that have used the device or in which countries the device has been employed. The Stun Belt appears to be very similar, if not identical to, the “anti’ scape stun belt” produced by the Force Group company in South Africa.111 The Omega Research Foundation had previously documented SECFOR promotion of the Anti Scape Stun Belt at the Eurosatory exhibition, held in Paris, France, in 2010.112 105 Correspondence from a representative of PKI Electronic Intelligence GmbH, 4 April 2016.
