Prisoner voting ban 'breaks law'

The general election will break the law unless the ban on prisoners voting is lifted, a pressure group has warned.
Barred From Voting, which includes prison governors, penal reformers, politicians and church leaders, says new legislation is needed immediately. In December, the Council of Europe's Committee of Ministers said the ban meant the election risked breaching the European human rights convention. In 2005, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights declared that it was unlawful to deny all sentenced prisoners voting rights in UK elections. Since then, the government has consulted twice on voting reforms, but there is no sign that any changes will be in place by the general election.
