With regards to #medical #mandates, "#Vaccine passports" and/or "#lockdowns" in the #UK please see:

Sidaway v. Board of Governors of the Bethlem Royal Hospital and the Maudsley Hospital

"A mentally competent patient has an absolute right to refuse to #consent to medical #treatment, for any reason, #rational or #irrational, or for no #reason at all, even where that decision may lead to his or her own #death."

This establishes the #principle of a legal right to #refuse medical treatment, preventative or curative. The ruling has been used in many cases and upheld.

In addition, please see the #International #Covenant on Civil and #Political #Rights Article 1 Section 1, Article 7 and Article 12 Section 1. The UK signed the #ICCPR September 1968 and ratified it in May 1976.

ICCPR Article 1 Section 1:
"All peoples have the #right of self-determination. By #virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their #economic, #social and #cultural development."

ICCPR Article 7:
"No one shall be subjected to #torture or to #cruel, #inhuman or degrading #treatment or #punishment. In particular, no one shall be subjected without his #free #consent to medical or #scientific #experimentation."

ICCPR Article 12 Section 1:
"Everyone #lawfully within the #territory of a #State shall, within that territory, have the right to #liberty of movement and #freedom to choose his residence."

The UK is a ratified signatory nation of the ICCPR and has a #legal obligation to abide by the Articles within the treaty.
