Article Abstract:
Amnesty International has recent begun an action in the High Court which aims to overturn provisions in the 1990 Broadcasting Act which ban political advertising from radio and television in the UK. Most campaign groups and charities hope that this action will succeed, as they particularly object to the selective way in which the provisions are enforced by the broadcasting authorities. They see their advertisements as humanitarian, rather than political.
