European Committee for the Prevention of Torture - UK 2008 visit PDF Print E-mail
Written by Emma Ginn   
"In 2008, as part of its programme of regular "periodic" visits, the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) intends to examine the treatment of people deprived of their liberty in the UK:

The visit will be unannounced, so will make it difficult for those NGO's/legal profession with concerns to highlight ongoing problems within the Immigration estate/prisons at the time of the visit.

I have asked the CPT and they have said they will not indicate the time of the visit

However,

Persons in possession of information concerning deprivation of liberty in any of these countries, which they believe could assist the CPT, are invited to bring it to the Committee's attention.

I would think that this would cover all aspects of deprivation of Liberty, including the many problems, with trying to obtain bail.

As the visit could be anytime in 2008, NGO's/legal profession, should make submissions as soon as possible.

Submissions can be made by email.
