ECHR finds UK in violation of Article 8

[Richard Lamont]

Following the discovery (by yours truly) of the real purpose of the
'Capenhurst Tower' in 1999, an investigation with Duncan Campbell and
subsequent exposé on Channel 4 News, the UK Government was taken to the
European Court of Human Rights by Liberty, British Irish Rights Watch
and the Irish Council for Civil Liberties.

The court published its verdict in 'Liberty and Others v. the United
Kingdom' yesterday. It found HMG in violation of Article 8 of the
Convention. Here are a few media reports:
