Appeals soar after secret courts are opened to public

5 Comments

Isn’t it nice to get good news in a New Year!

This article in The Independent will make John Hemming MP smile, I hope! for he has been fighting for ‘secret prisoners‘ for such a long time. They are the worst after the secrecy of family courts.

Maybe 2012 will become the year of breakthroughs!?

Behind a wall of secrecy, parents who lost their children, are now in jail

10 Comments

Ian Josephs, publisher of Forced Adoption and helper of many women who need to have their babies abroad, wrote Punishment without Crime.

It’s not enough to lose your child(ren), you may also end up in jail. That’s what applies to the two cases that Christopher Booker describes in his latest article Behind a wall of secrecy, parents who lost their children are now in jail – Lord Justice Wall has personally taken over two curious and troubling cases:

  • Vicky Haigh who lost her daughter and had to flee to Ireland to save her baby from “Social” Services
  • The Musas whose six Children were kidnapped by Haringey Police and Social Services.

I know that the general public prefers to believe the authorities than the victims. However, in Vicky’s case, the police videos of her daughter are convincing evidence that was conveniently ignored.

In the case of the Musas, just look at the photos of a happy family to be convinced that they would hardly fit any of the RIDICULOUS allegations that Haringey Council have come up with to feed to the Crown Prosecutor.

Norman Scarth Freed by Appeal: Exact Account of Hearing and Outcome

Here is the account of the appeal hearing on 9 September 2011 in the Royal Courts of Justice – by a close observer and supporter of Norman:

THE HEARING

Norman’s appeal against both conviction and sentence was listed for hearing and heard in Court 5 at the Royal Courts of Justice Strand London WC2 on 9 September 2011 at 10.00 am in the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division).

Also listed was his previous Habeas Corpus application as a Divisional Court, and it emerged later that this was so due to a technical hiccup made by Mr. Justice Wyn Williams at the end of the second hearing of Norman and Chris’s application for the Writ.

The court was presided over by Lord Justice Pitchford, sitting with Mr. Justice Wilkie and Mr. Justice Holroyd.

Maurice Kirk was at the hearing, along with the Musas.  I believe that there were other supporters of Norman from Leeds and other places all over the country also present, and it was a packed court.

From the commencement of the case,there were two goon court security guards at both entrances to the back of the court.

Norman appeared by video link which was switched on before the hearing began.
