Big Brother Watch, Open Rights Group and Index on Censorship made a submission to the court, arguing against proceedings taking in place in secret and in favour of open justice. Today, the Tribunal has rejected the Home Office’s application, stating it did not accept “that the revelation of the bare details of the case would be damaging to the public interest or prejudicial to national security”.

Neither myself nor, I’m assuming, the person you’re replying to wants to have the government with their grubby little fingers in our data.
What the person you’re replying to was saying had literally nothing to do with what you asked. Has to do with the above. It’s shocking that a UK court actually made a sane call. In this case, they decided that no, the government wasn’t entitled to a closed case. That the proceedings would be open, and the details would be available to the public. Like in a functioning democracy.
