UK: Law lords back detainees
Thursday 16th
"Detaining foreigners without trial under emergency anti-terror legislation breaks European human rights powers, law lords ruled today.
"The decision from the law lords, Britain's highest court, throws the government's security policies into chaos.
"A specially-convened committee of nine law lords upheld an appeal by nine foreigners who have been detained without charge or trial, most of them in Belmarsh prison, south-east London, for around three years."
