A group of experts at Exeter Law School have provided feedback to a government consultation on repealing the Human Rights Act.
Dr Sedacca said: “The government’s consultation document is based on a highly selective and negative presentation of the impact of the HRA, and in particular rests on the demonisation of particular categories of individuals, such as certain migrants, prisoners, or ‘gang members,’ as outside society and not deserving of rights protections. But human rights, by their nature, are supposed to apply to everyone.”
The response was co-signed by Tariq Al Sabahi, Charlie Anderson, David Barrett, Charlotte Bishop, Hilal Cibik, Catherine Dupré, Richard A. Edwards, Mollie Gascoigne, Swati Gola, Marta Minetti, Kirsty Potts, Craig Newbery-Jones, Isahbella Rai, Raawiyah Rifath, Natalie Sedacca, Stephen Skinner and Nathan Tamblyn.
