Stephen Gough has been imprisoned 20 times over the last 10 years for refusing to wear clothes. The former royal marine - who believes there is nothing wrong with the human body and therefore refuses to cover his under any circumstances - is often re-arrested by Scottish police immediately after finishing his jail term. This is a man who essentially is in jail because he is offending people (and that isn't even his intent). His imprisonment is a clear violation of his human rights to freedom of expression and simple freedom in itself. I want Stephen Gough freed because I think it is inhuman to imprison a person for eccentricity.
