January 10th, Chabloz&#8217;<br>\nappeal at Derby Crown Court against an eight-week prison sentence (breach of a 12-month social<br>\nmedia ban for writing on her own website) was adjourned by HHJ Robert Egbuna; disclosure of<br>\ncommunications between Chabloz&#8217; accusers &#8211; pro-Israel NGO &#8220;Campaign Against Antisemitism&#8221;<br>\n(CAA) &#8211; the Crown, the National Probation Service and indeed the Ministry of Justice was, for<br>\nsome reason, unforthcoming\u2026 Chabloz was granted unconditional bail by the judge who decided<br>\nthat the appeal could not proceed properly without full disclosure of the relevant papers.<br>\nOn stepping outside court shortly after HHJ&#8217;s decision, Chabloz was immediately rearrested by<br>\ntwo East Midlands Special Branch officers, acting on yet another complaint by Steve Silverman<br>\nof CAA, for causing gross offence by posting the link to an Internet Radio Show on GAB.<br>\nInterrogated and held until it was too late for Chabloz to return home that same night, she was<br>\nbailed to return to Derby Police Station, with the condition &#8220;not to post anything online&#8221;.<br>\nThe bail-to-return order with the same condition was reissued every month for the next six<br>\nmonths, always at the last minute, without the slightest regard for Chabloz&#8217; livelihood, well-being<br>\nor indeed current bail law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just over six months later, July 31st, Derby Crown Court heard that the Crown would no<br>\nlonger be contesting Chabloz&#8217; appeal:<br>\n&#8220;The documents in this case have been carefully reviewed and considered at length. We<br>\nmaintain that there was a breach and that Ms Chabloz-Tyler [sic] went against the spirit, at<br>\nleast, of the prohibited activity requirement by continuing to post comment which some<br>\nwould find offensive on her personal website. However, we recognise after full<br>\nconsideration that the prohibited activity requirement, of necessity non-specific, may have<br>\nbeen insufficiently precise for Ms Chabloz-Tyler [sic] to have been sufficiently clear as to<br>\nher obligations. Given that breach proceedings were not instituted until after the<br>\nrequirement came to an end, and the delay which has arisen since that time such that the<br>\nsentence as a whole has now concluded, we consider that it is no longer in the public<br>\ninterest to oppose this appeal, and will indicate the same to the Court for the matter to be<br>\nconcluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Case to be dismissed in the interest of justice.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, quite a significant victory for Chabloz and her legal team. The Crown&#8217;s &#8220;against the<br>\nspirit&#8221; argument is nothing more than a fig leaf, imposed to conceal the fact that the undisclosed<br>\ndocumentation no doubt contains further evidence of a Zionist conspiracy to silence Chabloz &#8211; a<br>\npoint recently validated by long-awaited disclosure in Canadian Arthur Topham&#8217;s almost identical<br>\nbreach trial in Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in Britain, the enemies of free speech made sure that Chabloz&#8217; victory was short lived.<br>\nTwo hours after the Crown had officially told the court that the case was to be \u201cdismissed in the<br>\ninterests of justice\u201d, Chabloz received an email from (former?) Detective Reed (- according to the<br>\nlatest paperwork now just plain old &#8220;PC Reed&#8221;), announcing that the Crown was finally in a<br>\nposition to charge Chabloz with the offences for which she&#8217;d been arrested January 10th, as<br>\ndescribed above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>January 10th to July 10th &#8211; precisely six months of waiting for a charging decision for an offence<br>\nwith a six-month time limit for prosecutions\u2026<br>\nChabloz paid almost \u00a3100 for the privilege of travelling back up to Derby to be charged on the<br>\nhottest day of the year so far. The authorities clearly wish to string out Chabloz&#8217; bail conditions (=<br>\ngagging order) for another six months until next January, meaning Chabloz has already been<br>\nfound guilty and punished, even before setting foot in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ALISON CHABLOZ LEGAL UPDATE AUGUST 21 st 2020.
