How the UK silenced a scandal: My two year battle to reveal the truth by Lewis GoodallCan justice, conducted in secret, ever truly be justice? I expressed my discomfort in court about the need to balance potential harm with the freedoms of the press. These proceedings were all in a secret court, court no 27 in the Royal Courts of Justice (in there, because it’s one of the only courtrooms which can be locked.) Even though we, the media parties, were under threat of prison if we revealed anything we heard in court, the truth is that it was a secret court within a secret court. Defending its right to secrecy over our right to know, cloaked under Afghans right to life, but not to know.
