Detention without charge
A Liberty study has found that the current period of detention without trial in the UK, twenty-eight days, is longer than exists in any comparable democracy, including the US and Turkey.
And yet the government have made clear their plans to extend the period for which terror suspects can be detained without being charged. If every other comparable democracy can conduct investigations into terror without a detention period approaching our present one, what justification is there for extending it further?
Replying is good.
