High Peak Liberal Democrats

High Peak Liberal Democrat PPC gives his views on Human Rights

High Peak Liberal Democrat PPC Stephen Worrall has recently recieved a number of emails from constituents asking his views on Human Rights Issues as part of an Amnesty International Campaign.

Stephen commented "These issues are evidently ones that concern a large number of people in the High Peak and so that as many High Peak residents as possible can know my views on them I have decided to share my views on the 2 topics they wanted to know my views on specifically, more widely".

The 2 topics about Human Rights Issues are shown below, along with Stephen's views in bold.

1) The Human Rights Act

I will like Amnesty International be standing up for the Human Rights Act this election. I believe is of vital importance as the UK would be a lesser place without it, I would be ashamed if the UK was no longer a signatory to it.

2) The use of torture by world governments

I will like Amnesty International be standing up to stop torture across the world this election. It is a disgrace that in our supposedly "civilized" world that something so barbaric as torture is still performed so ubiquitously.The two faced approach of many governments, sanctioning it whilst denying it, if anything makes this even worse.
