    A question for Imran Khan when he visits UCC

    He is coming to UCC to talk about the Stephen Lawrence case however there is an awkward question I would like to put to him. When Tony Blair abolished double jeopardy Khan was one of the leading opponents of the move as a curtailment of civil liberties, yet he just played his part in convicting men who were autrefois acquit. So how does that compute???
    If a parishioner of this church could attend this meeting and pose the question I would be very grateful as I am far from home at present.

    He is there as the fight against Facism. As a proponent of Islamic vales will he be challenged on things like honour killings, stonings, homosexual rights and women rights. I doubt it. Islamists are far worse than Nick Griffin.

    Islamic vales? Very pastoral.
    You've got the wrong Imran Khan.

    On topic please. His contradictory stance on double jeopardy needs to be challenged.
    It's illogical Jim

    It might help your OP if you specified that it was the lesser known Imran Khan who is coming to UCC

    A grave error on the part of Breaking News. Imran Khan the cricketer never studied law. If the topic to be discussed in UCC is definitely the Lawrence case, then it must be Mr Khan the lawyer who is visiting.
