Only SIX years after the event; obviously they are keen to investigate. https://www.dumptheguardian.com/uk-news/2023/apr/03/novichok-poisoning-dawn-sturgess-death-wiltshire-inquiry-date At a preliminary hearing last month, lawyers for the UK government defended delays in disclosing documents, claiming that substantial redactions were needed to protect sensitive information from the “hostile state that is Russia”. The family’s KC, Michael Mansfield, told the hearing that the family would like rolling disclosure, including CCTV of Yulia Skripal allegedly being followed upon her arrival in the UK. He told the court in London that there “must be some material that could be released without sensitivities”. Addressing the chair of the inquiry, Lord Hughes, on the disclosure delays, Andrew O’Connor KC, counsel to the inquiry, said: “There’s no hiding from the fact that the disclosure process in this inquiry is taking an exceptionally long time.” Public hearings are to be held in Salisbury and London. The UK government has blamed the Russian state for the novichok attack, and the British police have identified three suspects wanted over the poisonings. Several things stood out: the redaction excuse is clearly laughable, after all if the Russians did it what sensitive information must be hidden from them that they don't already know? the "British police" didn't identify the suspects, Bellingcat did and therefore the security/intelligence services. The "CCTV of Yulia Skripal allegedly being followed upon her arrival in the UK." intrigued me most. I've never heard of this before and it could be quite inconvenient to explain for the UK. It would almost certainly be a UK spook doing this which poses lots of questions I'm sure they don't want to answer. |
