    Hi if it is serious enough contact the commsion for human rights and equality, they will advise you on what to do and may represent you in court. If you google you will find the websiteHTH Nicki
    Only two big facts are known for certain: you are on a large, spinning rock hurtling through lonely space at about 67,000 mph, and one day your body is going to die. Will a new pair of shoes really help? :p

    Hi Angua2 perhaps it would be worth you contacting someone at Amnesty or Reprieve they might be able to point you in the right direction. Hope you get the help you need.
    Booo!!!

    It sorta kinda depends what your issues are Angua2. You may not wish to say, but the Human Rights act covers a whole range of things from right to family life to right to privacy to rights of sexual preference, religion - a whole host of things.

    You might be asking too broad a question.

    Our Tony's Mrs. was a Human Rights lawyer. Earned a packet: don't expect them to come cheap neither!

    Good Luck.

    Ta, egamar - I know it's broad and covers many things - from torture to slavery... I'm interest in Article 8 in particular - specially, the right to be treated fairly and with dignity AND the right to be safe and protected from harm.

    Crikey: even that is broad!

    But that's the the nature of the act!

    Good luck, anyway!

    PS: Oh, and not in any way being silly or offensive - maybe this isn't the best place to ask .. I don't know where is, but money stuff <> Human rights stuff, generally speaking, anyway!

    When you don't get answers from the places you first think of, you try other places, n'est-ce pas?
