 'Prism' and Privacy Law 

 Dear Rt.Hon. Malcolm Rifkind,

 I am writing to ask you, as my elected representative,

  to urge the government to amend legislation to ensure

 the privacy rights of all British, are respected and law upheld, including those laws and rights enshrined in our existing privacy legislation. Current legislation already provides the police with the tools to identify and prosecute. 

Without establishing the safeguards necessary in a free and democratic society, we face potential anarchy.

 I respectfully ask you, as my MP, to: 

 1. Insist that public hearings include all affected – the police, citizens and telecommunications service providers – to ensure elected officials understand the scope and effects of our legislation. 

 2. Support the legislation only if it contains adequate judicial authorization and accountability provisions, Leveson (in order to preserve the vital elements of openness and transparency that are fundamental to UK’s democracy) 

 3. Move and support amendments that address the serious implications for Britons’ privacy. It is my sincere hope that you will take action to address the serious concerns that have been raised about this and especially concerns over 'PRISM'. 

Business could also fail to thrive as more and more hacking goes unchecked.

 I look forward to your response outlining what steps you will be taking.

 Yours sincerely, 

E.C.Lucy Robillard, detaineee c/o St.Charles Hospital London w10
