Abuse of Anti-Terrorism Laws
More proof that these laws are being used on innocent people...
The actors who star in movie The Road to Guantanamo were questioned by police at Luton airport under anti-terrorism legislation, it has emerged.
One of the actor's side of the story can be found here.
IN addition to the above outrage, can someone tell me the purpose of denying people access to legal advice for up to 48 hours? It wouldn't be so that they would know when the law was being ignored is it? I'm sorry, I can't think of any other reason.
And! And! This comes immediately after 3 bankers are being extradited to the US, under the 2003 Extradition Act, which was designed to make it easier for terrorists to be extradited. Hands up who's surprised these laws are being used for much more than terrorism-related crimes?
