Sir Ranulph Fiennes’ family and friends call for an urgent investigation into his care after claims that he is being deprived of his liberty. The Independent reports that a watchdog has described the situation as “unlawfully deprived of his liberty,” prompting the call for further inquiry.
Metro adds that Fiennes, who is 82, has not been seen in public for about two years and is believed to have been moved between care homes under false names. Both accounts center on concerns about his treatment and whereabouts, but they differ in emphasis: one focuses on the watchdog’s legal conclusion, while the other highlights alleged movement across care settings and the lack of public contact. The reports do not provide details of what authorities have found or any formal outcomes, only the requests for investigation and the claims prompting them.
