Attorney general trashes calls from Nigel Farage to leave the ECHR
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"The attorney general has trashed calls from Nigel Farage and some senior Conservatives to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), saying that abandoning it would send an immensely damaging signal to Britain's allies. Lord Richard Hermer said abandoning the human rights convention would leave Britain in the company of Russia and Belarus (Russia was expelled from the ECHR after its invasion of Ukraine, while Belarus has never joined the Council of Europe)."
The Independent covers developing stories including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, emphasizing on-the-ground reporting and investigative work. The outlet investigates financial ties such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent avoids paywalls and relies on donations to fund reporters and nationwide coverage. The attorney general rejected calls from Nigel Farage and some senior Conservatives to leave the European Convention on Human Rights, warning that abandoning it would send an immensely damaging signal to Britain’s allies. Lord Richard Hermer warned that leaving the ECHR would place Britain alongside Russia and Belarus and would necessitate exit from multiple international human-rights treaties.
