Justice Alliance Testimonials and Letter


CAMPACC is extremely concerned about the loss of legal aid for; appeals against deportation (aid only allowed where article 3 of ECHR, regarding potential torture, is at issue); civil cases brought against police, prison staff or immigration detention/removal personnel; and cases concerning abuse of authority or connivance with ill-treatment by UK agents where the plaintiff is not resident (e.g. Binyamin Mohamed). We consider it vital that legal aid should continue to be available to challenge deportation to countries where the deportee could not obtain a fair trial, and also to challenge violence at the hands of the UK authorities.

To see statements from other organsiations and to sign the letter and provide a testimonial visit The Save Justice website,  a helpful resource for organisations with supporters with Lib Dem MPs to write to their MP with a copy of the testimonials asking them to enforce party policy to stay the cuts.

Please also inform other organisations that they can sign up to the letter and provide a testimonial. It is vital that this is a growing campaign. Please email milliegw@gmail.com
