What are your views about indefinite detention? Are you fine with your government practicing that against its own citizens?

If we're taking the meaning as being detained indefinitely without being charged and convicted then I'm against. I would support detaining for a period sufficient to gather evidence or eliminate imminent threats, such as in the case of terror suspects, but the term should be fixed by a judge, any extension should have to be applied for at the end of the fixed period and it should only be granted if significant progress has been made.

That's literally the definition, no trial or judges involved based on case specifics, no evidence, no reasonable suspicion required either.

What's the verdict in your country? Is it illegal for british citizens but legal in case of foreigners?
