Suzanne Breen, the Northern Ireland editor of the Sunday Tribune who is resisting court action to force her to hand over her mobile phone, records, notes and other material arising from her reporting claims by the Real IRA, will appear at a rally in London next Tuesday (May 26) organised by the NUJ.
The rally, starting at 6.30pm, will be at NUJ headquarters, 308-312 Gray's Inn Road, London. Other speakers will include Bill Goodwin, who won a landmark protection of sources case at the European Court of Human Rights when he was a journalist on The Engineer, Index on Censorship's Jo Glanville and leading lawyers Sir Geoffrey Bindman and Mark Stephens.
Protests are also planned by the NUJ in support of Breen in London and Belfast on the day of her court case, currently scheduled for Friday 29 May. They will be held outside the Northern Ireland Office in Westminster and the Belfast Recorder's Court. Both demonstrations will assemble at 9.30am.
