In a lecture on law today I was told that in our state "assault" includes restricting someone's freedom - and freedom to move about as they please - effected by any methods of intimidation or fear.
I wonder how some 'religions' measure up on that one.

Paduan,
Find out more from the lecturer and let us all know. Sometimes the laws we require to help us are already there but hidden away. Very interesting!

I think it was about "deprivation of liberty" where the intent is achieved by "a threat that detriment will be caused to the hostage if the demand is not complied with" - like a kidnapping - very stiff penalties.
It was a guest speaker. I won't be able to casually speak to that barrister about it. It's the Qld criminal code, but it's based on English law - you might be familiar with it.
