Craig Murray, former ambassador to Uzbekistan, is threatened again with libel action to prevent the publication of his new book.
In this book, Murray plans to expose the methods of mercenary commander Tim Spicer, one of those who has made a fortune with supplying his private, unaccountable army, to Iraq. [Fuck the War action]
Craig Murray
Only last year, Alisher Usmanov threatened Bloggers and Indymedia UK with libel action because of an article by Craig Murray in which the billionaire was associated with the Karimov regime and its brutal torture methods towards dissidents in Uzbekistan.
Craig Murray is famous for exposing the US and UK support for the Uzbek torture regime. He was also rector of Dundee University and is campaigning against rendition flights, the Iraq war and the oppression of Muslims in Britain.
