Comment on In 6 hours it will be illegal to say "I support Palestine Action" in the UK, with a sentence of up to 14 years in prison.
The UK is still a party to the European Convention on Human Rights.
Any major difference to the universal declaration on human rights?
Funnily enough the rights themselves are broadly similar, but the European Convention on Human Rights established the European Court of Human Rights, so being a party to the treaty means we are still within ECtHR’s jurisdiction.
