Joint Letter
The charity groups and press freedom campaigners have warned the government in an open letter. Moreover, the joint letter states that wealthy people like Arron Banks are using UK courts to silence and scare journalists who are working for the well-being of the public.
Besides, they highlighted Arron Banks defamation suit against journalist Carole Cadwalladr for accusing Facebook owner, Mark Zuckerberg and many others. Now, this freelance journalist is fined for stating false news everywhere.
On 12 July, Arron Banks’ London law firm Kingsley Napley issued a legal claim on her. Furthermore, on 16 July the firm stated in the letter that their clients were worried it would contain false allegations made by Cadwalladr and other journalists.
This is why Arron Banks calls me crazy, loony, criminal, a thief. Why Andrew Neil backs him up. He is desperate to shift attention from this story. And the BBC has failen for it. Please don't do the same. Journalism is not enough. Britain needs a Mueller. https://t.co/Bz5PD897X0 pic.twitter.com/2jbeq4B5ko
