Journalist ordered to hand over book content

30.06.08

Freelance journalist Shiv Malik must hand over his source material for a book on terrorism to Greater Manchester Police within seven days and pay legal costs, a judicial review of the case has ruled, according to the Guardian. But it appears that a production order made against Malik's publishers, Constable & Robinson, has been lifted.

The Guardian reports that the three judges sitting in the high court in London narrowed the terms of the original production order granted to Greater Manchester Police to include only material emanating from terror suspect Hassan Butt, rather than all material for the book.

Constable & Robinson admitted in May that it did not know when the book, Leaving al-Qaida, could be published.
