Zaoui decision protects our rights

The Council of Trade Unions today welcomed the Supreme Court decision as strengthening the civil rights of all citizens."In upholding the civil rights of Mr Zaoui our Supreme Court is protecting the rights for us all" CTU president Ross Wilson said.

"The CTU has been concerned for some time that Ahmed Zaoui is being held in prison without charge, and is subject to a flawed and unfair process," Ross Wilson said.

"The speed with which the appeal has been heard also vindicates the establishment of our own Supreme Court to replace the Privy Council in London.
