David Halpin on the David Kelly case |
In December 2003, David Halpin wrote an open letter that "As a past trauma and orthopaedic surgeon I cannot easily accept that even the deepest cut into one wrist would cause such exsanguination that death resulted. The two arteries are of matchstick size and would have quickly shut down and clotted. Furthermore we have a man who was expert in lethal substances and who apparently chose a most uncertain method of suicide. The picture fits more with 'a cry for help'."[3]
Aware of the report of the Shipman Inquiry that "all citizens are under a common law duty to report to the police or coroner any information likely to lead to an inquest", Dr. David Halpin led a challenge to the cover up of David Kelly's death. Mr Justice Nicol ruled on 20 December, 2011, that Dr. Halpin had no legal basis for pursuing a full inquest into the unnatural death of Dr David Kelly, and that he must pay £5,638 towards the government's costs.[4] He has claimed that thousands of emails were wiped from one of his computers since he started campaigning for a review of the verdict of Dr. Kelly's death.
Gaza Convoy
Dr. Halpin organized a high profile aid convoy to Gaza which was effective at highlighting the plight of the Palestinians.
Activism
As of 2020, David Halpin continues to give talks and use the WWW to work as an activist.[5]
