Could any HUMAN RIGHTS experts reading this message (and I gather we are now getting over l0,000 visits a day on KING OF HITS.COM) consider this theory and let us know whether it stands up? It is surely a serious breach of human rights for a government to hold someone against their will, when they have put lives in danger by declaring war on another territory. If we basically do not agree with the policy, we are entitled to leave the country. All citizens must be allowed to express their choice of either staying, and risking death, or moving to another country, where lives are NOT at risk. I don't believe, since the UK signed up for the human rights contract, there has been a war to test this situation but, if one is now declared, it is, surely, a fundamental human right to choose. And that applies to prisoners as much as to free citizens. Over to you, Blunkett.
