This autumn the Government wants to push through a Bill allowing police to lock people up for 42 days without charge if they are suspected of a terrorism-related offence. When the Counter-Terrorism Bill comes back to the House of Commons, your MP will have a chance to help defeat it: the Bill only passed by nine votes last time, so it will be close.
42 days. With. Out. Charge. No Judge, no jury, no right of appeal, just bang and you're locked up for over a month. All because someone utters the "terrorist" word. This kind of injustice is something that surely no one in their right mind can support? Government should be fighting for our civil liberties, not throwing them away with every season.
