Government Control orders unravelling
The Law Lords have today ordered the government to reconsider control orders imposed on eight terrorism suspects, although they did not declare the anti-terrorism measure to be completely unlawful. In rulings on six individuals, the Lords said control orders, which included 18-hour curfews, were too long. The Lords also ordered the courts to rethink two other cases because the proceedings had breached a right to a fair hearing. Under the control order system, the Home Office can impose daily curfews, restrictions on whom a subject can meet and where they are allowed to go. Subjects must also report daily to police and are banned from using mobile phones, email or the internet.
