More details
I am horrified by the complicity, or active involvement, of the UK government in torture, invasion of Middle Eastern countries, renditions, detention without trial, Guantanamo Bay and the erosion of human rights in the name of the 'war on terror'. The government assumes we support such actions. It is important to let them know how many of us don't, so add your name to the growing list on www.unsubscribe-me.org - and ask someone else to do so.

Comments on this pledge

• As a Scot, I am appalled and disgusted that Glasgow and Prestwick
  airports are being used to refuel CIA planes, which
  are transporting human cargo to countries where
  torture is systematically practised. The Brown and
  Bush governments use the evidence extracted under
  torture to detain without trial.
  
  I am equally appalled and disgusted that the Vucaj
  family were abducted in the middle of the night from
  their home in Drumchapel, Glasgow to Albania where their lives
  are in danger and their daughter is at risk because of
  the sex trade.
  
  Nuclear power is back on the agenda, and householders
  living around Hunterston nuclear power station in Ayrshire are given potassium iodate
  pills in the event of radioactive leakages.
  
  I watched in disbelief as an 82-year-old man was
  physically removed from the Labour party conference
  and later refused re-entry under the Prevention of
  Terrorism Act. He only said "nonsense", and this more recently a Dundee woman was detained under the same act for
  walking on a cycle track.
  
  Foreign policy, defence and security, immigration and
  energy decisions are made in Westminster and Washington.
  
  As a Scot - UNSUBSCRIBE ME.

• While I am angered and disappointed (although not at all surprised) that the United States of America and other countries around the world persist in committing these crimes against humanity, I am glad that at least one other person under the age of fifteen is taking notice and trying to change the situation.
