Please sign the petition and come to the public meeting when the petitions will be handed over to councillors.
The Public meeting is organise for

Detention Without Trial The men in Guantanamo being held without trial, are victims of the ‘war-on-terror’ in Iraq, Afghanistan and here in Britain. The government seems intent on introducing more and more draconian anti-terror laws, targeted at the Muslim community. Under the Terrorism Act 2001 several Muslim men were detained in top security prisons like Bellmarsh. They were subsequently released under control orders when their detention was ruled in breach of the Human Rights Act. Some have been detained again under new rules.
