Right to Fair Treatment Quotes



This quotation is a more sophisticated statement of the Magna Carta clause {583716}. Note that English law allowed redress against all other people including religions officials and government temporal officers. And everyone was entitled to justice and access to the courts including outlaws or people who have been excommunicated. In many countries these people do not have the protection of the law. This tradition allows prisoners in jail to sue the jailers for example. And imagine a person who had been excommunicated as a heretic and yet allowed to live turning around and suing clerics who were persecuting him in an Islamic nation other than Turkey.
