Our organisation would like to affiliate
to Scotland Against Criminalising
Communities (SACC).
We support SACC's
aims:-
(1)To campaign
against the use of excessive state powers
to criminalise political activity which
are contained within the Terrorism act
2000, the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and
Security Act 2001 and the Prevention of
Terrorism Act 2005; to campaign for the
repeal of these acts; to campaign against
any other legislation that has a similar
effect; to monitor the use of such
legislation and to work in close
association with the communities most
affected by these acts in order to
highlight their discriminatory
nature.
(2)To demand
that everyone must be treated as innocent
until proven guilty; that habeas corpus
(the right of a person to be brought
before a judge to determine if their
detention is lawful) be restored and to
demand those imprisoned without trial
under this legislation are released or
granted a fair trial.
