: Current AwarenessBattle against extending pre-charge detention moves to House of Lords - Liberty
By sally
“Human rights group Liberty said the battle against the Government?s Counter-Terror Bill proposals to detain suspects for 42 days without charge will now be taken up in the House of Lords. Narrowly passed in the House of Commons today (315-306), the controversial proposals have generated widespread concern about the negative impact on civil liberties and community relations.”
