“We wish to pay tribute to the way the case has been handled by all concerned, albeit after a slow start on the part of the Secretary of State.” (per Lord Justice Richards in R (on the application of Maya Evans) v The Secretary of State for Defence [2010] EWHC 1445 (Admin))

Baha Mousa: Theatre Production as the Inquiry Report Nears Completion

The play “Tactical Questioning” opens at the Tricycle Theatre in London on 2 June.  It brings together scenes from the Baha Mousa Public Inquiry, in which PIL has represented the family of Baha Mousa together with the nine other victims of abuse by British Soldiers in Iraq in September 2003. 

 

The Guardian today previewed the production in a short film, with contributions from Phil Shiner of Public Interest Lawyers.

 

Phil Shiner will be participating in a post-performance discussion on 6 June 2011 alongside Jon Snow of Channel 4 News and Tim Owen QC, Counsel for Cpl Donald Payne.
