Fantastic outcome for our client who was charged as a result of their involvement in the Kenmure Street protest. Acquitted of all charges after an 8 day trial conducted by our Erin Monaghan, the Sheriff noting that NONE of the police officers were credible or reliable witnesses.

The key to highlighting a lack of credibility and reliability in a witness is expert cross-examination. So this was no mere ‘own goal’ by the Crown witnesses.

The charges are trivial. But that’s not the point. These are undertaking conditions imposed by the police before the client has been brought before a court. They allow protest in support of any cause they like - other than Palestine. Explain to us all how that is reasonable.

We mean ‘immediate’ as in as soon as the Court will hear us on it. And an urgent hearing shall be sought. The alleged offence involved filming police officers but irrespective of the gravity of matters the prohibition against ‘pro-Palestinian’ protest is outrageous on any view.
