Baroness Helena Kennedy: 'Former Haverstock schoolboy's human rights were abused over terror case'


BARRISTER Baroness Helena Kennedy told a court that a former Haverstock schoolboy was “exposed to illegality and an abuse of human rights” by the government during a legal bid to restore his British citizenship: Camden New Journal, 01 August, 2013 by TOM FOOT
