Liberty condemns new inquest delay over Cheryl James's death at Deepcut barracks
The independent human rights organisation Liberty has said that delaying a new inquest into the death of a soldier from the Shrophire border would be "intolerable" for her family.

Lawyers from Liberty, acting for Des and Doreen James, of Llanymynech, whose daughter Cheryl died at the controversial Deepcut Army barracks almost 20 years ago, say it is a disgrace that Surrey Police want to delay the inquest.
They said such a move would "prolong the couple's suffering".
Recently the High Court granted an application for a new inquest into the death of Private James.
The 18-year-old was found with a single shot to the head between her right eye and the bridge of her nose after she had been on sentry duty in November 1995.
