Keep Dennis Nilsen Behind Bars

To:  European Court of Human Rights

Dennis Nilsen was arrested in 1983 for the murder of 15 men, during a period of 4 years, in London. He chopped up their bodies, and either ate them, or boiled them and threw them out, dumped the remains, burned the remains, or flushed the remains down the toilet (which is how he was caught).

He was convicted of six of the murders and two attempted murders, and received a 25 year sentence.

This means that on approximately November 4th this year, 2008, he will be up for parole!

This Petition has been created, to fight against this animal being released from prison.

WE CANNOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN!

Please sign this petition if you agree with keeping this monster behind bars!

Wikipedia states...

'Nilsen's minimum term was set at 25 years by the trial judge, but the Home Secretary later imposed a whole life tariff, which meant he would never be released. After the Home Secretary was stripped of his powers to set minimum terms in November 2002, however, Nilsen could be freed on life licence as early as 2008 because of his original 25-year minimum sentence. His case could also be helped if a European Court of Human Rights case - currently being considered - outlaws lifelong imprisonment as a violation of human rights.'

If you're not familiar with this case, I suggest you read 'Killing For Company' by Brian Masters.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
