@iran“A leading human rights barrister has won his appeal against contempt of court proceedings, which were levelled at him for a closing speech in the trial of Palestine Action activists.
The court of appeal’s ruling on Tuesday in the case of Rajiv Menon KC comes as it has also emerged that four of the defendants found guilty in a retrial can be sentenced as terrorists”

Sir Nikhilesh Dutta (born January 5, 1939) is a Bangladeshi #barrister who was #calledToTheBar as a Member of the Honourable Society of the #InnerTemple, #London, England. For his contribution in promoting inter-religious harmony, he was conferred with a #knighthood as a #KnightBachelor by #QueenElizabethII in 2007. Dutta, with a legal practice in the #SupremeCourtOfBangladesh, was the first national who was called to the Bar as a barrister on 8 February 1972 from independent Bangladesh.

@alanferrier
That's when the details of the case emerged - 2003. The article is poorly written.
Badenoch echoes Trump in asserting that a #barrister who acts for their client is otherwise joined to that client or their activity.
They of course believe whatever their #client tells them (or must withdraw) but sometimes question whether anyone else could be persuaded of it.Barristers regard the cab rank as a fundamental principle. I of course believe them, and also observe those who don't.

Do I know any #English lawyers?
Nothing bad, I am just curious how someone would get case documents out of the court system for a tribunal I did back in 2014 - Since I assume those documents are "public" now.

When I look at US #politicians wearing their formal costumes, it reminds me of English #barrister's wearing gray wigs.
It is certainly not about respect. It is mostly about identity and conformity.

In our increasingly digital world, the boundaries of free speech and expression are continually tested, often with significant legal implications. A recent case in the UK highlights the delicate balance between freedom of expression and the potential legal consequences of online posts. A woman was sentenced to 20 months in prison for a Facebook post, leading many to question the limits of their own online expressions.
The right to freedom of expression, enshrined in Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), is a qualified right. This means that while individuals are free to express themselves, there are limitations based on the context and potential impact of their expressions. The law allows for restrictions if the expression incites violence, causes needless anxiety, or is persistently annoying.
A notable case in this regard involved a woman named Scotto, who had her conviction quashed after being prosecuted for a series of exchanged tweets. The judgment referenced Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003, which criminalises the improper use of public electronic communications networks for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience, or needless anxiety. The judge clarified that these provisions were not intended to criminalise expressions that are merely annoying or inconvenient.
The case underscores the importance of context and intent in determining the legality of online posts. While persistent harassment through electronic communications can be prosecuted, a single post that annoys someone is unlikely to meet the threshold for criminality unless it incites violence or causes significant harm.
In contrast, the United States offers broader protections for free speech under the First Amendment. This disparity is particularly evident in the context of recent discussions about Elon Musk’s comments on social media. Musk’s remarks about the possibility of civil war in the UK have sparked debate about whether such statements could lead to legal action or even extradition.
Brian Rio, a US attorney, provided an in-depth analysis of the legal landscape surrounding free speech in the US. He highlighted the Brandenburg v. Ohio case, which permits advocacy of violence as long as it does not incite imminent lawless action. According to Rio, Musk’s comments, which warn of potential civil unrest without advocating for it, fall well within the bounds of protected speech in the US.
Rio’s analysis further illustrates the robust protection of free speech in the US, even extending to statements that might be considered inflammatory or provocative. For example, advocating for the violent overthrow of the government or expressing the desirability of war is protected, provided there is no immediate threat or incitement to illegal action.
This stark contrast between the UK and US legal frameworks highlights the challenges of navigating free speech in a globalised digital landscape. While the UK imposes more stringent restrictions to prevent harm and maintain public order, the US upholds a broader interpretation of free speech, prioritising the exchange of ideas and political discourse.
In conclusion, the legal treatment of online expressions varies significantly between jurisdictions, reflecting different cultural and legal priorities. The UK focuses on preventing harm and maintaining public order, while the US prioritises the protection of free speech, even at the risk of allowing provocative statements. Understanding these differences is crucial for navigating the complex and evolving landscape of digital communication.

The US backs voluntary agreements in the global AI regulation debate, the EU mandates strict laws, and tech leaders lobby against heavy regulation. The discussion extends to open-source AI versus restricted access, highlighting the tension between fostering innovation and mitigating risks. Key figures use examples like AI deepfakes to influence policy.
