Sally Challen Appeal 27/02/19

Just to remind everyone that Sally's appeal will be heard on 27 and 28 February at the Royal Courts of Justice. Her son David has been campaigning tirelessly about her case and the appeal was put back, having originally been due to be heard before Christmas.

Fingers crossed that she is freed and that society wakes up to the realities of coercive control and what it does to people.

I hope so too. I can't go there to offer support as I have to work, but I will be following on SM.

I hope justice is served.

This is a really important case. Her sons have been such a great support to her - their testimony is damning about their father.

So important the law recognises coercive control. Hope Sally gets the justice she has been denied. Will be following with interest.

It has been such a long wait for David and his brother James.

I hope they get their mother back.
