European court ruling: authors of Human Rights treaty would be 'turning in their graves' I think the people who wrote the original Human Rights Convention would be turning in their graves at this ruling. I profoundly disagree with the court and this simply reinforces my determination to curtail the role of the court of human rights in the UK. Strasbourg's decision opens the door for further appeals by other prisoners serving life tariffs, including some of the most notorious killers in modern British history. The Government will now have to amend the law to ensure it complies with human rights legislation, or face challenges for release or compensation claims. David Cameron was "very, very disappointed" and "profoundly disagrees" with the court's decision, the Prime Minister's official spokesman said. Bamber, 52, was jailed for murdering five members of his family in Essex in 1985. He has always protested his innocence and claims Sheila Caffell, his schizophrenic sister, shot her family before turning the gun on herself. The ruling does not give the three murderers any prospect of imminent release because the court had not heard any evidence on whether they still presented a danger to the public. The men claimed keeping them in jail forever with no prospect of release was a breach of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights - which prohibits torture and "inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment" and was drawn up in the wake of the atrocities seen in the Second World War. The Strasbourg court's Grand Chamber said in its ruling: "The court ... found that the current law concerning the prospect of release of life prisoners in England and Wales was unclear. It suggested there was "clear support" in other European countries, and further afield, for life sentences to be reviewed after 25 years. Any changes to the law are likely to have to focus on introducing a right of appeal at that stage, said Dr Rebecca Niblock, a criminal law expert with London-based solicitors Kingsley Napley. The Government cannot appeal.
