Terror suspects lose appeal
BBC NEWS | UK | Terror suspects lose appeal:
"Appeals by five suspected international terrorists detained without trial have been rejected.
The Special Immigration Appeals Commission judges made the ruling in favour of the government on Wednesday.
They have been detained without trial under emergency powers introduced in the wake of 11 September.
Another five suspects are due to hear the outcome of their appeals later on Wednesday.
Some of the men have been in jail since December 2001, held under the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act.
The Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) backed the Home Office claims it had enough evidence to keep the men behind bars. "
Now, I'm not supporting terrorists here, but surely everyone deserves a trial? Some of these men have been held for 2 years without any kin of evidence being made public or brought before a court of law. WTF is going on in this country?
