What do you think about the case of an Algerian held without charge for 3 years in Britain and then released, as outlined below?


A foreign national held under the government's emergency anti-terrorism powers since 2001 has been released.

Home Secretary David Blunkett said the weight of evidence no longer justified detaining the Algerian, known as "D".

The man had been in the high-security Woodhill jail near Milton Keynes since 17 December 2001.

His solicitor Natalia Garcia said her client was "choked" at the surprise decision to free him.

"He feels he's been locked up for three years just on a whim.

"No reason has been given why he was arrested and detained in the first place. It's mind-boggling."

She added that her client's life had been "decimated" and they would be considering a compensation claim.

It was understood that the man - who cannot be deported because of the risk that he would be in danger in his country of origin - would now receive discretionary leave to remain in the UK.

"D" was among the first eight foreign nationals to be held without charge or trial under the Anti-terrorism Crime and Security Act, introduced after 11 September.

The man was held under a certificate issued by Mr Blunkett and lost a landmark appeal against his imprisonment in October 2003. His detention was again upheld in July.............................................

I agree that combating terrorist threats may call for extreme measures in certain circumstances. But the basic right to defend oneself against charges brought by the state should never be sacrificed. I'm not saying that people are arrested for no reason, but that they should be able to contest the legitimacy of those reasons in the normal way.

LOL..
This might be the silliest, most childish and the most thought depraved post I have ever had the fortune to read.
You even go so far as to feel like some kind of proud rebel
for reading Marx and Engels. Did you understand any of it? Excuse me while I stay convulsed in laughter for a while.

You do know that *your* hands might be the ones tied when you start trying to fight it? Since its a weapon against people of a diffrent opinion than the ruling one.

You posted a little earlier saying someone was a "commie", implying you didn't agree with him/her. Then you say you want to register people for their opinions. This kind of centralized control is to be expected in a comunist scociety. (Practical comunism, mind)

War on Islam? Really? (I'm laughing again) I've heard the term "war on terrorism", by "war on islam" is acually quite new.

When we win... We? Who? Win? Win what? A trophy? Are you really so stupid you think you can *beat* this behaviour out of these people? The will only fight harder... You are talking about genocide. Hitler did that too. The world rose up and put him down.

And "silly buggers"... Come on... If they are that silly, don't give them power. Are you sure they would agree with you? Because if they don't you might find yourself detained the next time you go out.

There are acually a few others in there that make me laugh. But I have to work now :-)
Wake up man. You can't sleep and type, and I think you are having a nightmare, or something.
