Reply to comment by [deleted] in British man deported to Jamaica launches action against Home Office | Richard Wallace wrongly classed as Jamaican and deported after serving murder sentence, despite having been born in London by kwentongskyblue

A government that can lock someone up for two years on phony charges with no evidence can probably do the same to you, and that should concern you

They aren't defending murderers, they are defending rights.

People who are charged with murder have a trial in front of a judge and jury. The purpose of this judge and jury is to decide whether the right to live freely in society is taken away (and in some cases right to life at all, but that's a whole other can of worms) The judge and jury do not decide that this person now has no human rights at all and that they can be treated however this person or that person sees fit.

Once time is served, this human is now a part of society again. But you think we can just arbitrarily remove rights as you see fit? That's a slippery slope....

and the rest of us are welcome to our opinion that once someone becomes a murderer we don’t care about them or their rights.

i’m sure if someone killed someone you love then you wouldn’t be so quick to stand up for the rights of murderers.

Actually my cousin was murdered in Montana. He was shot in the head, so your theory's invalid.

Try reading the article? When he came back to the UK they locked him up for two years on trumped up charges of using a fake ID

> He returned to the UK on his British passport in 2018. But on his return he was accused of using his own passport fraudulently and was jailed for two years. He was released in October 2020 after DNA tests with other British members of his family proved him to be a match with them.

Nobody is arguing the opposite. For that murder he served his sentence, a separate sentence so he has paid his debt to society.
