28 days: The campaign gathers pace

I’ve written quite a few times on our campaign to try and stop the government from extending the 28 days pre-charge detention period. From today this campaign moves into second gear.
We’re starting with Facebook. For that, we’ve teamed up with Amnesty International, OurKingdom and City Circle to raise awareness of the issue and spread the word. Please join the group and invite your friends!
Update: The home secretary has today backed away from 56/58 days and now wants to push for 42 days. Without convincing anyone or having the evidence for it. It’s a farce.

We should be pushing to return to the old 2 days, rather than just rejecting the current creep forward.
I agree… though its difficult enough to get the government to stop on the current limit.
Let’s hope even this supine parliament can grow a backbone…
