Julian Assange: Bail granted and judge gives permission to tweet | UK Human Rights Blog
But this was not a jury trial. It appears that the judge in Assange’s case granted “permission to tweet”, although he may have just been responding to a question rather than framing his response to a specific legal application. In any case, it does not follow – it would seem anyway – that permission would be required to tweet in all cases. Members of the public are allowed to observe most criminal and civil cases in person – a key aspect of open justice, which is in part guaranteed by fair trial rights under human rights law - and without contrary guidance from HM Court Services, they could probably tweet too.

One thought on “Julian Assange: Bail granted and judge gives permission to tweet”	Corrupted Mind |
December 14, 2010 at 4:01 pm	Let me guess:
I’m glad commonsense prevailed. Bail is a right that should only be denied if there is a serious flight risk, a real theat that the accused will disrupt the investigation and/or tamper with witnesses or a serious threat to the public. While I accept the lower court judge, in the absence of a permanent place of abode might have felt compelled to detain Mr Assange – clearly you would hope that on appeal his defence team would have suggested better solutions to mitigate the flight risk apart from offering up Ms Khan as a (weak) sacrifice/surety.
