Say ‘No’ to 42 days

Amnesty International have a petition against the planned extension of internment for suspected terrorists to 42 days.

A clever element of the petition is that signatories are sorted by post code and individual MPs will receive a version of the petition containing just their constituents who have signed.

Go and let your MP know you’re against 42 days internment. As Graham Linehan says, ‘42 days is not an interrogation. 42 days is a disappearance.’
