[Here is the text of a press release that has just gone out in connection with tomorrow’s premiere of the Aljazeera documentary Lockerbie: What Really Happened?:]
What: Lockerbie: What Really Happened? Global premiere of Al Jazeera's latest investigation into the atrocity
When: Tomorrow, Tuesday 11 March, 1pm
Where: Committee Room 1, Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh EH99 1SP
For three years Al Jazeera has been investigating the prosecution of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi. Two award-winning documentaries, screened on Al Jazeera in 2011 and 2012, demonstrated that the case against him was deeply flawed and argued that a serious miscarriage of justice may have taken place.
Now, in its third and most disturbing investigation, Al Jazeera English answers the question left hanging at the end of the last programme: if Megrahi was not guilty of the Lockerbie bombing, then who was?
The film will be broadcast worldwide on Tuesday at 8pm.
Available for interview at the premiere will be the film's executive producer Diarmuid Jeffreys. Others featured in the film will also be in attendance.
For more information, to register for entry to the parliament building, and for interview bids, please contact:

[It is devoutly to be hoped that the documentary will concentrate on presenting the now overwhelming evidence that Abdelbaset Megrahi was NOT the Lockerbie bomber rather than trying to set out who was. The available evidence establishes the former beyond reasonable doubt. Attempting to demonstrate the latter is at this stage a distraction. Once Megrahi’s conviction has been officially recognised as fatally undermined, then is the time for a genuine unblinkered look at whatever evidence exists that may show who actually was responsible.]
