Claimed that the 2017 Manchester bombing was not as depicted by the commercially-controlled media. Convicted in a precedent-setting case against "conspiracy theorists'. | |
Richard D. Hall is a researcher who was prosecuted by the UK government for his publications about the 2017 Manchester bombing. In a March 2024 article Iain Davis concluded that he "deserves support from all who care about the truth."[1] The BBC termed him a "conspiracy theorist".[2]
Legal case
In a precedent-setting judgment in UK law on October 22, 2024, Hall was found guilty of harassment of Martin Hibbert and his daughter Eve, two of the reported victims of the incident which took place in the foyer outside the Manchester Arena on May 22, 2017. Hall was ordered to pay £45,000 in damages, plus £234,000 to cover 90% of the claimants' costs, totaling £279,000, and has had an injunction imposed upon him.[3][4]
Hall's contention that there is no credible primary empirical evidence of a massive TATP shrapnel bomb having gone off in the City Room was not allowed to play any role in his defence. The official version of events was the only permissible version of events.[5]
"Eve's law"
The case soon became a springboard of a coordinated campaign for further clampdowns on independent media. In December 2024, the Guardian reported that
Hibbert is planning to campaign for a new criminal offence protecting victims of crime or tragedies from harassment by conspiracy theorists, which he wants to be known as Eve's Law after his daughter. He also plans to establish a star chamber of pro-bono barristers who would represent these victims on a no-win, no-fee basis, as he said legal fees were preventing people from suing those hounding them online.[6]
Iain Davies concludes that "Eve's Law appears to have been a planned outcome of the Manchester Attack. Setting a case precedent to underpin the push for Eve's Law was blatantly a key aspect of the ruling issued against Hall. If Eve's Law is enacted as proposed, it will be virtually impossible for any independent media journalist or outlet to question power. If they do, any alleged "victim" will be funded by the state to sue the offending investigative journalist for harassment—not under existing legislation but under Eve's Law."[7]
