Lawyer Harry Potter discusses how Habeas Corpus works in practice and how it was used by John Lilburne. Lilburne鈥檚 opposition to the policies of Oliver Cromwell鈥檚 regime led to his trial for sedition under Parliament鈥檚 new treason law in 1649. His skilful self defence led to him being declared not guilty. Oliver Cromwell bypassed habeas corpus by having Lilburne imprisoned in Jersey outside the jurisdiction of English law. Parallels are made with Guantanamo Bay. Harry Potter discusses Lilburne鈥檚 imprisonment at Mont Oreguiel with curator Doug Ford.
