Charges have been withdrawn against Ihab Shoukri and the DPP has decided not to proceed against those involved in an illegal protest in Dunloy.Judge Burgess’s commented that the prosecution;
“may have to consider wider issues than those before the court.”
Chief Inspector Wallace said that;
“…the reasons for not prosecuting were confidential.”
Both comments will raise again the issue of the reasons for prosecutorial inaction being made public.
PS Before everyone starts I am aware in the different nature and seriousness of the charges and not equating them the common thread is the lack of information.
