'Sleepwalk' protest
Published Date:
14 October 2008
As the Lords voted against the 42-day detention limit, dozens of Amnesty International supporters donned pyjamas for a "mass sleepwalk" in Leeds in protest against the measure.
The small but vocal group of demonstrators followed a route around central Leeds in their nightwear, some carrying teddy bears and others barefoot or wearing slippers.
The human rights campaigning organisation planned the action to coincide with the release of a film it has produced as part of its opposition to the proposed extension of the custody limit.
After the march, the demonstrators gathered at a central Leeds nightclub to view the new film, Sleepwalk.
