<p> Since 2001, successive anti-terror laws have impacted heavily on ethnic minorities and on Muslims, mainly on refugees but also on British citizens. They have been kept in various forms of detention without trial, including partial house arrest under control orders, detention without charge for up to 28 days, and prison or house arrest pending deportation, possibly to torture. Campaigners have been giving the detainees practical support and demand that they be released immediately. </p>
<h5> AT THIS MEETING, SPEAKERS WILL EXAMINE: </h5>
<ul>
<li> The injustices meted out to 'terrorism suspects' by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC), detention and house arrest without fair trial, based on accusations often arising from secret evidence </li>
<li>The government's current threat to re-introduce internment, this time for British as well as foreign 'terrorism suspects', following difficulties in the use of control orders </li>
<li>The dangers and impact of the new proposed "Stop and Quiz" power. The government seeks to give the police power to stop and interrogate anyone in public places. The right to "no comment" would no longer be valid and anyone refusing to respond to police questioning could be arrested. </li>
<li>The links between control orders, detentions and other anti-terrorism measures; in particular how lengthy pre-charge detention and the proposed new 'stop and question' power will intensify the climate of fear, especially for Muslim communities </li>
<li> The need for a speedy and fair trial, or release without charge for all suspects in terrorism cases; and how to build support for this demand amongst Muslim and non-Muslim communities </li>
<li> The need for immediate day-to-day solidarity with detainees and their families, and how people can get involved. </li>
</ul>
