Terrorism Detention Powers: Fourth Report of Session 2005-06

The Stationery Office, 3 iul. 2006 - 67 pagini
This report considers the police case for an increase in detention powers in respect of terrorism suspects, in particular their support of 90 days pre-charge detention. It looks at the background, both existing provisions, changes in the Terrorism Act 2006 and the origins of the police case; the terrorist threat, whether its nature has changed and alternatives to longer detention; and judicial oversight and detention periods. Although the Committee can find no evidence to suggest that 90 days pre-charge detention is essential they think that 28 days might prove to be inadequate. Because of this they recommend the creation of a committee, independent of Government, which will review the pre-charge detention period each year and make recommendations when necessary.
