STEVENSON ON PRISONERS RIGHT TO VOTE

Commenting on the ruling by the European Court of Human that banning prisoners from voting breaches their human rights, SNP Prison Spokesperson Stewart Stevenson MSP said:

"If we deprive criminals of right to liberties, then it does not seem disproportionate to deprive them of the right to vote. It would seem surprising to many, that we might offer prisoners an influence in changing the law under whose rule they are imprisoned.

"I shall be asking the Scottish Executive how they will be addressing the matter."
