UK Courts Turn To Silencing Len Miskulin

	posted by Scott on Tuesday January 23, @04:49PM from the news dept.
	Len Miskulin, who has been hunger striking for over a month to protest the family court system that has barred him from seeing his children, has apparently had another major stumbling block to his cause. I have been unable to confirm the source of a press release that is circulating by e-mail, but it states that a media gag order has been issued by a British court, forbidding the use of Len's name or personal information in reports on his hunger strike. Effectively, it is undermining the media's ability to report on his case or to exercise free speech. This makes his cause all the more urgent - please visit Len's web site for updates or info on what's going on.

I don't think that they get it... (Score:1) by BusterB on Tuesday January 23, @07:21PM EST (#1) (User #94 Info) http://themenscenter.com/busterb/ To give the courts the benefit of the doubt, perhaps they have (correctly) reasoned that Len's primary focus is publicity for his cause. Therefore, rather than do anything about the problem that Len is protesting... or even acknowledging it, they simply gag him. The idea, I suppose, is that perhaps "no publicity" will mean "no hunger strike." I think that they're a little unclear on the concept....
