Will Jack Straw be recommending that the Channel Islands follow suit in the opening up of family courts?

I firmly believe they should be open as a criminal has a fair trial in open court, whereas in Jersey it is similar to witch trials. There is no form of protection from outside influence and public opinion, therefore allowing the system to take children off people with no fair trial. Where are the human rights in these backdated chamber of horrors?

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.
