A senior judge has quashed control orders made against six men under the Government's anti-terrorist legislation.
Mr Justice Sullivan, sitting at the High Court in London, said the orders were "incompatible" with Article 5 of the European Convention on Human rights.
The article prevents indefinite detention of suspected terrorists without trial.
He ruled: "It follows that the (Home Secretary) had no power to make the orders and they must therefore all be quashed."
The six men, believed to be one British citizen and five Iraqis, had been placed under severe restrictions of liberty in line with the control orders.
The latest decision means the Government has now suffered a High Court "double whammy" in its attempts to legislate to fight terror.
In April the same judge also found the 2005 Prevention of Terrorism Act - under which control orders are made - "incompatible" with the European Convention on Human Rights because "controlees" had not received a fair hearing.
Both cases are now expected to come before the Court of Appeal.

The liberal lefties on here will say it’s only fair and they have rights, etc, just like the Judge said in his findings today.
It’s obviously clear they are a danger to the general public with such orders but are free to roam the streets, I feel more uneasy as every day goes by under this dictatorship, incompetent government.
Eriksson should go for Prime minister after he’s finished with England, well, he couldn’t do any worse than this present shower of useless twats.
