Suppression Order and Freedom of Expression: WikiLeaks, Corruption and the Super Injunction | Global Research
The suppression order has formidable currency in the English law canon.
It is used to shut people up. It is used to keep silence golden. It is
intended as a self-censoring measure that uses the cudgel of the law to
keep people, and the media, in tow. WikiLeaks has fronted this legal
remedy before, notably in the case of Trafigura3, a multinational which
had been more than happy to use African bases as dumping grounds for its
toxic waste. The company attempted, unsuccessfully, to keep discussion
of its exploits under wraps.
