Who or where do i complain to regarding unlawfully kept on remand in the uk ?

You cannot be unlawfully kept on remand in the UK. Only a magistrate or judge can order you to be remanded on the basis of evidence or argument presented by the prosecuting authority. Further, it should be the presumption of the court that you will not try to evade justice, and hence should NOT be remanded, unless there is reasonable cause to believe otherwise. Sadly prejudice sometimes figures in this decision and people are remanded without reasonable cause. However, the arguments are very subjective in these matters and such errors are rarely challenged. Much really depends on the quality of your legal representative and of the prosecution. If you feel that your remand was unreasonable your solicitor should should be able to guide you down any legal avenues that are available to you. If they say you have no foundation for any action then really all you can do is complain to your MP or try and get the media involved.
