    The Phillipines need to hear this now.
    The Phillipine government provides a law that gives power to the executive branch specifically Police force to arrest a suspected person in an act of Terrorism, without warrant of arrest.

    What's your answers to the following when you have to choose one side over the other of the equations?
    1 human right = 100 human rights ?
    1 right of speech = 1 right to live ?
    1 right to claim = 1 right to counter claim?
    100 rights to free speech = National security representing 100 M rights to peaceful living.

    Name one human right a sectioned person has.
    Arbitary detention in scotland for example is inevitable because the psychiatrist (with no qualifications) only has to believe the victim is "likely" to be mentally ill. Therefore unchallengable.

    Human rights apply to a select few, not people who actually need them, if you are from the Middle East and an atheist apparently you don’t deserve to be treated like a human!

    Obviously noone will answer. There are ZERO human rights in Scotland that is not overruled by the mental health act. Even if you are not ill.

    what is 'Liberty' really when getting a Human Rights lawyer is pretty much laughed at in the UK system.. getting a petition can take more than 3 years, MPs sit on information about human rights abuse.. what is ''Liberty'' really.. they let the UKG and Parliament run a mock..? with total disregard to Human Rights fact is Liberty has failed as they have been here too long and too little has been done..

    "People representing all the great world religions and people with no religious convictions came together." Well the ones with no religious convictions were the soviets and look at how that turned out: Cuba, Vietnam, North Korea, Russia, Ukraine, Afghanistan, etc.

    "Because every life matters." But, Shami, from a quick google search, you're not opposed to the law in Britain that states that a baby can be aborted at any point in the pregnancy as long as they're disabled, that includes partial birth abortion where the baby's body is outside the womb but the head remains inside while the abortionist kills the baby. Now, compared to "non-disabled" baby's, abortion is legal until 24 weeks gestation, why is it alright for one persons life to be considered more valuable as long as their not disabled? To go further with this point, if you truly stand for equal rights, you would be pro-life as you said that what brings us all together is that we're human. And yes, baby's before 24 weeks gestation are human.
