How very strange. The disinformation outfit that is Grayzone are claiming in a recent article that the UK press have been told not to report on this hearing and yet, here we find The National doing exactly that. Also reportage on the trial to be found in The Guardian:

Jfyi,

Misinformation re the Filton24 hearing is being repeated on mastodon.

Several false claims have targeted the Grayzone's reporting, eg, that it claimed: "the UK press have been told not to report on this hearing".

Untrue of course. What the Grayzone *actually* claimed was:

"The jury has not been notified about the ‘terrorist’ designation, & the British media cannot report this information under a court order."

I saw Mark from ITV news yesterday and asked him if he knew anything about it. He said he did but said he unable to report on it and found the fact that he was unable to report on it more interesting than the story itself.

@Geri

Much appreciated, Geri. It adds to the story's likely veracity.

@aral @strangetown

@DrALJONES @aral @strangetown Defend Our Juries are reporting on it too.

It becomes a matter of finding where Sam Corner Vs The Crown is being tried to see what and where - They have to publish this. Even if it is for 'Criminal Damage'

I am going to try and attend at least the 28th or 29th at the High Court to hear Mahmood's Appeal - not that I will understand much

@Geri

👍

@DrALJONES also Zarah Sultana made a speech in the HofC about it xx

@Geri

Yes, I saw that in Hansard. She was quoting from the Grayzone article.

Do you happen to know of any sources outside the UK that are independently publishing the info about the muzzling of the UK press & the ban on informing the jury?

@DrALJONES maybe we could contact the Gray Zone?

@Geri

Good idea. Will do.
