CHERRI GILHAM VISITING CHARLES BRONSON AT WAKEFIELD JAIL, BRITAIN - 05 OCT 2005
Former actress, and now writer and anti war campaigner Cherri Gilham visited Charles Bronson in Wakefield jail. She is campaigning to get Bronson released. He has been in solitary confinement for 27 years. Says Cherri 'We are going to take his case to the European Court of Human Rights as his imprisonment breaches article 3, which states that 'no one shall be subjected to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment' Bronson is locked in his cage for 23 hours a day. He has no human contact other than the occasional guard. It's a travesty says Cherri. He has served his time and he is a reformed character, finding solace in his art, for which he has won several awards. He should be freed. But the Home Office red tape is exasperating'
