| Subject: Hear-hear! Celebrities sign letter calling for drug law change Thu Jun 26, 2014 6:36 am | |
| More than 90 celebrities, politicians, lawyers and health experts have written a letter to the prime minister calling for a review of the government's policy on illegal drugs.
The group includes musician Sting, Sir Richard Branson and author Will Self.
They want a change in the law so drug possession is no longer a crime.
The call comes as part of a global day of action against the so-called "war on drugs" and protests are planned to take place in 100 cities on Thursday.
The signatories of the letter to David Cameron also include groups involved in law enforcement, such as the Prison Governors Association and the National Black Police Association.
