Your Freedom
From: Amnesty International UK [sct@webmail.amnesty.org.uk]

Dear Supporter,

We've got our best chance in years to get rid of Control Orders, as the UK coalition government is about to start a new review of counter-terrorism powers.

Control Orders give the government sweeping powers to restrict the liberty of terrorism suspects - using a mixture of curfews, electronic tagging, reporting requirements, and controls on movement, communications and association. All on the basis of secret intelligence that they can't see or challenge.

Make your voice heard.

Later this week, I’m meeting the Home Office to outline Amnesty’s human rights concerns about current measures – particularly Control Orders. I want to grab their attention by starting that meeting with evidence that people in the UK don't want a system that disregards the fundamental right to a fair trial.

The government has set up a new website, Your Freedom, to capture public opinions on laws that conflict with their freedoms. We’ve used it to register a proposal to abolish Control Orders. Now, we need you to show your support by giving it a five-star rating.

Step 1 - register at Your Freedom http://yourfreedom.hmg.gov.uk/join_form

Step 2 - visit our proposal and give it a five star rating. Also add a comment if you wish.

If just a few thousand of you join with us, when I sit down with the Home Office, I can tell them that our proposal is the most popular on their own consultation website .

The impact on the individuals subject to Control Orders and their families and friends can be devastating – destroying livelihoods and damaging relationships. Please help us banish them to history. Act today.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Tara Lyle
Counter-terrorism Policy Adviser
