Terror detainees win Lords appeal

BBC

Detaining foreign terrorist suspects without trial breaks human rights laws, the UK's highest court has ruled

In a blow to the government's anti-terror measures, the House of Lords law lords ruled by an eight to one majority in favour of appeals by nine detainees.

The law lords said the measures were incompatible with European human rights laws. The men will stay behind bars while ministers decide how to react.

Solicitor Gareth Peirce called on the government to release them quickly.
