Civil Liberties Resource Pages for Bloggers: Libel Law, Photographers, Dooced Bloggers

I have started building a record of bloggers who have been threatened in various ways, and also photographers who have been subjected to official harassment.

The pages can be accessed through the Resources menu.

  1. A list of UK bloggers subjected to legal threats.
  2. A list of published Cease and Desist letters.
  3. A list of UK bloggers sacked for blogging.
  4. A list of UK photographer subjected to harassment by police or other officials. This one has been built furthest to date with around 15 examples listed and cited.
  5. Policies that should be in Manifestos at the next Election.

This is a slow-burn project, as there is so much evidence out there and not much hope of shifting things until we get a new government in the UK.

Links would be appreciated to the pages from editorial articles and the sidebars - this will be a major project for me.

You can inform me of cases via the Contact Form; options have been set up.
