It has been revealed that in the UK, every single one of the prosecutions pursued against individuals who broke the Draconian Covid-19 lockdown have been overturned.
The UK’s Coronavirus act was introduced by the government last March and it contains emergency powers, such as banning mass gatherings and enforced screening for people deemed infectious, to restrict the spread of the virus but all 246 prosecutions launched under this legislation has been done so incorrectly.
Yahoo news reported that all 14 people accused of breaching the Act in January were wrongly charged, means there have now been 246 incorrect prosecutions since it was introduced.
Human rights barrister Kirsty Brimelow cited this data as she suggested the Act should be repealed stating:
“One hundred per cent of prosecutions under the Coronavirus Act to date have been wrong. That shows to me there is a very strong case to repeal that section, that has continually been used wrongly and unlawfully against members of the public.
“The statistics aren’t usual within a criminal justice context, to repeatedly see the law being unlawfully applied.
“What it does demonstrate is that the safeguards are not working within the criminal justice system, and it also demonstrates that where there are no safeguards which apply where fixed penalty notices are applied, where there is no lawyer overseeing them, it’s highly likely there are thousands of those [fines] that have been unlawfully issued.”
