Priti 4 Witham

According to news reports this morning (all of which are pretty gloomy), the government has said that it will challenge “robustly” the decision to allow the man who knifed the head teacher Philip Lawrence to death to stay in the UK. The decision to allow this man to stay in the UK, was made because to send him back to his country would have violated his ‘human rights’. This ridiculous decision highlights he real incompetence of the Government’s human rights legislation. In essence, the message to the law abiding majority is that under this Government, the human rights of a killer are of more importance that the rights of the victims of crime. This is such a terrible and a depressing case. The Lawrence family must feel utterly devastated by this ridiculous decision. The government must act now to correct this very wrong decision.
