Human Rights Act has ’helped rapists and murderers escape justice’ for 10 years, says top detective

From the Daily Mail

One of the country’s top detectives yesterday launched a withering attack on the Human Rights Act and claimed it had helped murderers and rapists to escape justice.

Detective Chief Superintendent Chris Gregg said since its introduction in 1998 hardened criminals had effectively used the legislation to hide from the law.

He described its abuse as "callous, heartless and deeply offensive" and called for new measures to prevent it from continuing.
