Syvret told to remove blog names
Friday 26th November 2010, 2:57PM GMT.
FORMER Senator Stuart Syvret is being further investigated for publishing material on his blog.
The ex-politician was yesterday ordered by the Royal Court to take material off his internet blog that identified a nurse he had described as a Harold Shipman-style mass murderer. Mr Syvret said that he would remove as much as he could and welcomed Crown Advocate Stephen Baker to highlight any he missed out.
It was also revealed during the proceedings that Mr Syvret faced further allegations of illegally publishing personal information. He described the charges as ‘nonsense’, claiming that the authorities were trying to put a stop to ‘investigative journalism’.
Earlier this month Mr Syvret was jailed for ten weeks, fined £4,200 and ordered to pay legal costs of £10,000 after his lengthy court case came to an end. He was given bail pending an appeal.
