New video starts the fight against 42 days detention (sleepwalking.mov)

This autumn the UK government wants to push through a Bill allowing police to lock people up for 42 days without charge if they are suspected of a terrorism-related offence.

Amnesty is concerned that civil liberties are still under attack in the Counter-terrorism Bill and warns that people in the UK may be sleepwalking into an assault on their basic human rights. Political rumours that the plans will be dropped cannot be relied upon and the 42-day proposals must be defeated once and for all.

42 days - don't sleepwalk into it.

The only way to convince MPs to take a stand against 42 days is to show them how many of their constituents are against this unnecessary and counter-productive piece of legislation.
