Taking Liberties

on BBC Two England

A series of seven films presented by David Jessel. 7: A Measure of Suspicion Sean Ramsey moved his family from Northern Ireland after his daughter was injured by a bomb. At dawn, two years ago, police broke through his door and he was arrested; he still doesn't know exactly why. He was never charged, and it's a bitter experience the Ramseys will never forget.
Taking Liberties talks to some of the thousands of people arrested and then released as innocent under one of the strongest laws in the land, the Prevention of Terrorism Act.
Is enough caution being used in the exercise of such a devastatingly powerful law? As Sean Ramsey says: 'It seems to me it's needed, but it's a terrible price to innocent people.' Producer SARAH MANWARING-WHITE Series producer ELIZABETH CLOUGH
