Craig Murray Justice Campaign
In its own words:
"Defending Free Journalism, Campaign for Free Journalism"
The Craig Murray Justice (CMJ) Campaign is the official campaign account in support of blogger Craig Murray (@craigmurrayorg), freedom of speech and equality before the law.[1]
The CMJ campaign blog started in June 2021 in response to the sentencing by Scottish judge Lady Dorrian of Craig Murray to eight months in jail for contempt of court.
Murray handed himself into police in Edinburgh on 1 August 2021.[2]
CMJ committee
The CMJ committee is an international alliance of friends and supporters who have set themselves the task of campaigning and advocating for justice for Craig Murray and the continued upholding of freedom of speech laws in Scotland, the UK and Europe. We believe that beyond the charges being made against Craig Murray the legal implications of this case do not only violate Human Rights but also seek to limit free speech and the ability for fair and balanced coverage of court cases.
