McLibel: Human Rights Victory Anniversary Anniversary of 2005 McLibel victory at European Court of Human RightsThe European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg declared that the notorious and long running McLibel case was in breach of the right to a fair trial and right to freedom of expression, thereby voiding any solace that McNasty may have enjoyed from the trial. The Court ruled that UK laws had failed to protect the public’s right to criticise massive corporations whose business practices can affect people’s lives, health and the environment. Meanwhile after spending £10million to suppress free speach, McDonalds find that the most widely distributed protest leaflet ever, continues to be distributed worldwide...

The opening session at their upcoming conference at the the ICC, Broad Street, Birmingham, B1 2HG (with Caroline Spelman") as the guest speaker) is called 'The Political Challenge' and will in most part be a discussion about the badger cull. |
