Hacked Off statement on CPS' decision to charge Rebekah Brooks and others

Hacked Off

"The Hacked Off campaign believes the CPS decision to charge Rebekah Brooks and others means a welcome opportunity to get to the bottom of accusations that have so far been the subject of intense speculation by the media."

We note Ms Brooks’ expression of concern about 'posturing by the CPS'. Hacked Off wishes there had been similar concern for due process during past media coverage of Christopher Jefferies, Robert Murat and others."

Now that charges are being brought, this is a matter for the criminal courts."

Hacked Off is funded by supporters, not newspaper owners. Help us take this to Parliament: give £10 a month.
