28 days: Select committee not in favour either
The Guardian is reporting today that the home affairs select committee is broadly not in favour of extending pre-charge detention past 28 days either!
“It’s not going to be supportive of the suggestion of an extension of 28 days,” a source close to the confidential report told Guardian Unlimited. “The general gist is that there is no evidence suggesting we can go beyond 28 days.”
The Financial Times broke the story. I have I’ll have more updates on this campaign in a day or two.
