Rejected petition BAN REPORTING OF LEE RIGBY MURDER TRIAL

More details

We, the undersigned, call on the Government to ban the press reporting of the Fusilier Lee Rigby murder trial, if necessary by the issue of a DA-Notice, in order to deprive the accused of the oxygen of publicity for their views resulting from a full trial, arising from their "not guilty" pleas. The Nation, including their own co-religionists, should not be exposed to the publication of the accused's twisted views, excuses and opinions, which are not in the public interest.
