More 'uman rights lunacy

[Gob]

A prisoner is being allowed to become a father from behind bars because of his human rights.

The inmate’s demand for artificial insemination with his partner was approved by Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke earlier this year.

It is thought the treatment, which can cost up to £2,000 a time, is being paid for by the NHS.

The decision was based on the prisoner’s ‘right to family life’ under Article 8 of the Human Rights Act.

The case follows that of burglar Wayne Bishop who was let out of jail last week so he could look after his children, using the same article.

Last night one Tory MP said that the combined impact of the two cases raised the prospect of criminals fathering children from behind bars simply to demand they be let out.

Philip Davies said it could amount to a ‘human rights get out of jail free card’.

The MP for Shipley said: ‘The public are sick to the back teeth of the human rights of criminals being put before the rights of decent law-abiding people, victims and taxpayers.

‘The whole point of being in prison is that your liberties are taken away from you. What’s the point of locking people up if this pseudo-court, with the help of Ken Clarke, is going to give them all their rights back?’

Let them spunk on the wall. If the wall gets pregnant, give them the cement block to carry around for 9 months then the whole wall for 18 years.

hey, over here we pay them too...

THE Human Rights Commissioner, Catherine Branson, wants the federal government to pay $500,000 compensation and apologise to a Chinese man convicted of double murder who has been refused a visa.

The man, ''NK'', has been held in immigration detention at Villawood since his release from prison in 2006. He cannot be sent back to China because the Immigration Department believes there is a ''real risk'' of him being tried again for the murders and executed.

''NK'' left China in 1989, the year of the Tiananmen Square massacre, and entered Australia on a student visa.

He was convicted on two counts of murder three years later, and served 15 years of a 20-year sentence. Ms Branson said the State Parole Authority had found ''NK'' suitable for community release in 2006, but federal immigration ministers would not place him in community detention. He was refused a protection visa because he fails the character test.

Ms Branson has accused the government of holding ''NK'' in arbitrary detention. In 2007, ''NK'' married a blind former Villawood detainee, whom he now wants to look after. The Immigration Department has refused to apologise to, or compensate, ''NK'' because it says he is being detained lawfully.

A spokesman for the Immigration Minister, Chris Bowen, said the department was working to resolve a ''very complex case'' - most likely by seeking his removal from Australia.

As in the case of the American Gabe Watson last year, Australia considers it would be in breach of international ''non-refoulement'' obligations if it returns a person to a country where they face the death penalty or torture.

''There are complex issues regarding international obligations that have so far prevented the government from removal to the home country,'' Mr Bowen's spokesman said.

If you let him father a child, he will only then be after immediate release because being imprisoned is a breach of his 'Human Rights' as a father.
