Justice for Megrahi petition back before Justice Committee

At its meeting on Tuesday, 18 February 2014, one of the items on the Scottish Parliament Justice Committee’s agenda will be further consideration of Justice for Megrahi’s petition PE 1370. A written submission to the Committee by JFM’s secretary, Robert Forrester, can be read here. It deals with progress (or lack of it) on Police Scotland’s investigation of Justice for Megrahi’s allegations of criminal misconduct in the Lockerbie investigation and the prosecution and trial of Abdelbaset Megrahi. The clerk to the Committee's briefing note on the petition can be read here (document J/SA/14/6/3, paras 27 to 33).

Comments

Readers are invited to comment on blog posts. All comments require to be pre-moderated by me, and I shall reject all (a) that are not related to the Lockerbie disaster or (b) that fail to meet my -- perhaps idiosyncratic -- standards of courtesy towards other contributors. Comments will not be rejected simply because I disagree with them or because I, or other contributors, find them irritating. But comments will be rejected if they distort or misrepresent the evidence; are defamatory; or if they risk embroiling me, as publisher, in defamation proceedings. I am perfectly relaxed about being sued in respect of material which I personally have posted -- but not in respect of material that others wish to post as comments and which, in any case, I often strongly disagree with.

Particularly during my sojourns in South Africa, it may not be possible for me to perform the moderation function speedily. I regret the necessity of moderation but it has been rendered inevitable by the behaviour of a particular commentator whose contributions will always and without exception be rejected.

No correspondence will be entered into regarding moderation decisions.
