McLibel Trial Transcripts Scandal

McDonalds have, since Friday 14th July, withheld essential daily court transcripts from the defendants in an attempt to deter reporting of the case here and around the world. The transcripts cost over £350 per day which, Helen and Dave can’t afford. It was openly admitted by McD’s that the aim of this move was to prevent the free circulation of information about their activities. A) Why do defendants have to BUY transcripts from their own case? B) How can McD’s justify such blatant injustice? Protests have been made both in and out of court. Contact the McLibel Support Campaign for more info. 0171 713 1269
