TEN YEARS OF UNDEMOCRATIC LAW.


From SACC:

10 Years of Secret Intelligence Evidence and Abuse of Human Rights

It is 10 years since the Anti-Terrorism Crime and Security Act came into force and made it legal to intern foreign nationals in Britain on the basis of secret intelligence evidence. Cageprisoners have published a collection of articles to mark the anniversary:
The Ricin Plot that never was – the legacy of hysteria by Lawrence Archer (foreman of the jury in the ricin trial and co-author with Fiona Bawdon of "Ricin! The inside story of the terror plot that never was". )
10 Years On by Richard Haley (Chair, SACC)
Mahmoud Abu Rideh A prisoner till he died by Victoria Brittain (former associate foreign editor of the Guardian)
