In a newsletter update from Emma Bateman (I bought her some carrot seeds once) she tells me that "The judgment in Shahrar's case will be handed down on Friday the 9th February".
I will be very interested to hear what the verdict here is. I've seen very little of the details of this case in the press and online sources I access, but I know it is important in ensuring that political parties don't become no-go areas for people with GC views.
