| PETITION TO END CONTROL ORDERSParliament must vote every year to renew the control order scheme – a scheme only ever intended to be temporary.
Early in 2010 the scheme was renewed for the fifth time. However, parliamentary opposition continues to grow, and the fight is far from over.
The control order policy has kept liberty and security in a compromised state which satisfies neither and opposition to the scheme is growing.
Add your name to our petition and show your elected officials that this policy is long past its sell-by-date.
We the undersigned urge the Government to end the unsafe and unfair control orders system in 2010.
Your information will be kept securely by Liberty, and the names of petition signatories may be published at a later date.
