Вождь Ex-MI5 атакует план 42 дней
Четверг 9-ое июля 2008
He added that an extra 14 days available to question suspects and gather evidence would “make no difference” to the police, and that to say so was a “ridiculous assertion”. ‘Fundamental rights’ For the government, Security minister Lord West said: “We face an unprecedented terrorist threat… There’s a clear and present danger to our population.” He added: “The terrorists we face are more ruthless than those we faced in the past.” But shadow security minister Baroness Neville-Jones said of the 42-days plan: “It represents yet another attack, on the part of the government, without justification, on fundamental democratic rights and freedoms that have underpinned our society for centuries.” This draconian proposal will be defeated in the House of Lords -Lord Thomas Liberal Democrats The Conservatives and Lib Dems say they will try to defeat the 42-day measure when the bill reaches its detailed parliamentary stages, possibly after the long summer recess. Lord Goldsmith, who was the legal adviser to Tony Blair’s government after the terror attacks on London and in the run-up to the Iraq invasion, is due to speak in the debate and has made no secret of his opposition to the plans. He has said “the case has not been made” to extend the limit on holding terror suspects, and he could not support it. He also argued that extending the pre-charge limit to 42 days would send a message to Muslims “that we are down on them”. ‘Discredited policy’ Lord Thomas, who speaks on attorney general issues for the Lib Dems, said: “Holding someone without charge for 42 days adds nothing of value to the investigation, prosecution or conviction of terrorists. “The government’s proposals do not have serious support amongst senior police officers, ex-government law officers, the director of public prosecutions, the legal profession or, indeed, anyone who knows anything about the criminal justice process. “Gordon Brown’s clinging to the shreds of his discredited policy in the hope that he can pass off this ineffective and unprincipled stance as somehow ‘tough’ on terror. “This draconian proposal will be defeated in the House of Lords.” Attempts to extend the terror detention limit to 90 days in 2005 ended in Mr Blair’s first Commons defeat as prime minister.
