Secret Prisoners

I am linking to my piece at the back bench business committee about secret prisoners and contempt of parliament.

Those interested in these issues will find it interesting.

John, I think the battle here is the people you mentioned, threatened with Jail or are Jailed are ALL carried out in complete secrecy, no jury trials, no innocent until proven guilty, the human rights this breaches is staggering to say the least and is only one aspect of the issues.

Its better to Jail someone who may be outspoken or are deemed as a threat to the Authorities, I know being in the same position myself last year.

The questions need to be asked and urgent action should be taken against the Authorities and the JUDGES who jail innocent people for committing no crime but chose to speak out about their treatment at the hands of the state.

Best of luck with it, its high time is was properly debated and brought to the public's attention.

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
