Southern England Law Centre expresses support for the European Convention on Human Rights

Southern England Law Centre has joined almost 300 organisations and charities to express support for the UK’s human rights protections to mark the 75th anniversary of the European Convention on Human Rights.

The statement, which was organised by Liberty, calls out the way human rights and the Convention have been used as a political scapegoat over recent years – which it said has had “devastating real world consequences”.
