Discrimination against UK Disabled and UK Benefits Recipients
Oct 1, 2009

Focus:Human Rights
Action Request:Write Letter
Location:United Kingdom
Where can you be denied free legal representation?
Who can be denied free legal representation?

In the UK only disabled people have to take their own cases to court, the Human Rights Commision takes all other discrimination cases to court for the person/group being discriminated against.

In the UK only benefts recipients can be denied their Human Right and be taken to court, in front of a Judge, with out legal representation, they have to do it themselves or rely on Government paid for charity.

This can leave people without their legal entitlement to benefits they desperately need, with a criminal recoed and enormous debts they will be bullied by the Government to repay.

THIS HAS TO STOP.

Wrire to the British Government, Members of Parliement.
Campaign using the press. This terrible injustice has to be stopped.
