Our latest newsletter includes reports of several talks our members have attended over the last few weeks. Several of these have focused on human rights in the UK and a number of Bills that the Government is putting through Parliament that aim to reduce our freedoms and rights in various ways and adversely affect our country's approach to asylum seekers and to torture. The Human Rights Act continues to be under attack and is currently the subject of a review being undertaken by an independent panel of experts set up by the Government.

The newsletter also includes items on brave women human rights defenders in Poland and an update from the country coordinator on India and Nepal. Regular features are also there - actions you can take this month and diary dates.
