The UK does have detention without trial. The accused are not allowed to hear or see the evidence about them and neither can their lawyers. They are not allowed to be at the hearings against them and even mentioning these secret courts is punished without any due process.Thank you Gordon Brown.

V is for Vendetta

THIS. THANK YOU for posting this. I read about awhile ago, got enraged and frantically tried to find a way to help. It took them a long time to invent the arson story as an ostensible excuse for imprisoning this trouble maker. If I remember correctly, they had locked her up and thrown away the key, ready to forget about her. I think they weren’t expecting so many to pay attention and wonder what happened to her. Now she is extremely traumatized, emaciayed and likely clinging to life, just the way a witness/whistleblower should be. Outrageous. Please God, if there is any way we can help this fallen hero, let’s do it.

Indirectly related is this interview with a UK cop , one who tried to do the right thing re:protecting children from being trafficked...note that he was warned that if he continued on this path, his children could be taken from him... https://www.unwelcomeguests.net/748-_The_Tyranny_of_Enemy_Images-_3_(Pedophilia_As_A_Tool_Of_The_Deep_State)

It seems to me that one of the ways that governments can silence whistleblowers is to frame them for some crime or other, which besides being in itself unpleasant, also discredits them henceforth in the eyes of the public.

Or she is a mentally ill arsonist convicted in an open trial.
