Dear Mr Donohoe
I write to in regard of the ongoing issues regarding
humanitarian journalist Julian Assange presently a
political prisoner in sanctuary at the Ecuadorian
embassy in London as a result of the extradition case
against him.
I would be grateful, that as my local MEP you raise
your voice on my behalf and express strong concerns
regarding the unfair treatment Mr Assange has
received by the UK & Swedish judiciary,in regard
of the allegations against him for which he has never
been charged,and request that you make further
request for clear and concision response as to why
Swedish Prosecutor Marianne Ny has been allowed to
hold up proceedings and prevent and delay
the course of justice by her insistence that
she will not question the
uncharged Mr Assange in London, at the Ecuadorian
embassy or by video link,
as I believe her action to be illegal under European
law and that she is in fact, by these action not only
committing criminal infringements
of Mr Assange's human rights in line with the protocols
of the human rights act 1998 but but is also conspiring
with other involved in this case to prevent the course of justice. Furthermore I would like some clear and concise answers
as to why the British government has failed to allow
insure Mr Assanges safe passage to Ecuador where
he has been granted political asylum by a legitimate
government who believe that Mr Assange would not be treated
fairly in Sweden, and further agree, that
Mr Assange would not be safe were he to be further extradited
by Sweden on to the United States of America to face further
allegations regarding his work as a humanitarian journalist
and as founder of the wikileaks organization.
These concerns for Mr Assanges safety that reflect his human
rights would be further impeached and which are supported by
the evidence of international reports which reflect high ranking
political and military personnel from the United States
have publicly called for his assassination an murder again
for alleged crimes,regarding his position
as a Journalist and humanitarian. Yours sincerely, June MacKendrick

Dear Brian H Donohoe,
I am writing with very serious concerns over the announcement on BBC
radio 2 that Stewart Hall TV presenter has been charged with the very
serious charge of rape and 14 counts of abuse and has been bailed and
released back into the public domain.
Firstly I feel it is reprehensible that these allegations have escaped
police investigation for more than 3 decades, during which time, should
the allegations be proven, it will reflect he has had opportunity to
continue with his criminal pursuits, putting at serious risk members of
the public just like me and my daughter friends and family.
I believe it absolutely beggars believe that this person having been
charged with these heinous crimes would be bailed and freed into the
public domain, particularity when the charges have been so publicly
reported and the public opinion is running very high and very angry
about this case and the others related to the Savile pedophile ring.
It was my believe that UK law deemed that citizens be protected by law
and that includes those who have been charged with crimes and who are
awaiting trial.
It is my believe that by releasing Hall into the public domain, not
only are the public being put at risk, but also Hall himself is at risk
as a result of public opinion & in addition Hall himself would be
considered a risk to himself from a mental health prospective as a
result of both the charges & public opinion.
It was my believe that under UK law criminals facing trial for crimes
as serious as rape and abuse were remanded until their trail date and
it therefore poses the question how many more people charged with rape
and sexual assault bailed and roaming the streets posing risk to the uk
public while they await trail.
I would therefore be obliged if you would raise these questions on my
behave in Parliament as I believe this is a serious question of public
interest and public safety.
In addition I am still awaiting your reply with regard to my
inquiry regarding Julian Assange and your correspondence related to
that issue from the home sectary,& I feel it relevant to ask why given
the bail & free to roam status of Stewart Hall a person charged with
rape & 14 counts of abuse, why Julian Assange who was not charged in
the UK or abroad or even questioned by the foreign prosecutor regarding
the allegations against him why was he firstly imprisoned, then
released on an outrageous bail bond with tag when the allegations in
Sweden against him were with regard to a condom splitting, and yet to
date his freedom has been denied and his safe passage from the uk on
political issues denied by the uk government.
I hope you will give this your utmost attention as I am deeply
concerned regarding rape suspects being released into public domain
after being charged with this very serious crime as it poses a serious
risk to safety of public.
Yours sincerely,
june mackendrick

Thank you for your letter of 24 January to the Home Secretary
on behalf of Ms June Mackendrick, about the arrest of
Stewart Hall. I am replying as the Minister responsible
for crime prevention matters.
The decision on whither or not to charge an individual is an
operational matter for the police or the Crown Prosicution Service(cps).
Where the charging decision is taken by police, they must
follow the Police and Criminal Evidence act(PACE)1984
codes of practice code c, section16.
The codes of practice are available here www,homeoffice.gov.uk
The CPS issues charging guidance which both police;&
Crown prosecution must follow.
The CPS charging guide is available here www.cps.gov.uk.
It would be proportionate for me to comment particularly
as the investigation is still in progress.
However Ms Mackendrick may wish to direct her inquiry to the
Metropolitan Police Service which is conducting the investigation.

Mr Brian Donohue MP

Dear Mr Donohue,
I write in response to your letter dated 20th March 2013,
detailing issues raisedby a Constitution, June Mackendrick,
in relation to the on-going investigation into
Stuart Hall. I am the Sinior Investigating officer (SIO)
for the enquiry
Whilst I cannot go into the spasific details of the case
due to it being "sub judice" I do feel that I can make some
general comments which may go some way
to answering some points raised.
Firstly, I would like to reassure your constituent
that once these matters were reported to the police,
they were investigated diligently and expeditously,
leading to the cu rent proceedings.
I am unable to comment further at this time on the reasons
why they were not reported earlier to the police,
but once reports were made, a throughout
professional investigation ensued.
Secondly, English law is rooted firmly on the premise
that a person is innocent until proven guilty.
As a result of this principle, the Bail Act 1976 states that
a person is entitled to bail, whatever their alleged crime
unless criteria apply.
This right to bail exsists no matter how serious the charge laid,
with the deprivation of liberty before conviction being a last resort.
This approach is further supported by the provision for conditions
to be applied to bail, to ensure that the public are protected
but that the person retains their liberty where
possible, until a determination is made of their guilty or innocence.
The police can remand an individual in costody when certain criteria apply,
from which the court then have the duty to determine the bail status
of an individual.
The application of a Bail Act is generally a matter for the court,
following representation by the police, the CPS and the defence.
The Bail Act was the basis upon which Mr Hall recieved his
conditional bail with the court taking into account
all the relevant information and circumstances.
Finally , all persons who come into costody in Lancashire
are subject to risk assessment:
this assesses the risk of harm to them from others,
on going risk to community or specific victims,
and also any risk to they may pose to themselves.
Following this assessment, strategies are put in place to ensure
that any threats are mitigated and the risk of harm significantly reduced,
where ever that risk arise.
i hope this provides answers for your constituent:
If I can be of further service please
do not hesitate to contact me..
YOURS SINCERELY
DCI NEIL ESSEEN
DETECTIVE CHEIF INSPECTOR
In conclusion to these correspondences
I will now briefly refer you the reader
back to my original letters and concerns
and ask you to
make a fair comparison of the treatment
recieved by Jullian Assange
who has not been charged with a crime either here or in Sweden
and indeed not only have the proceedings in Sweden not been
subject of
proper swedich interview protocols
but the documented evidence reflects that
the sex was consensual with 2 adult women
and the original concerns were with regard of a split condom.
On the other hand in regard of Hall
the allegations were of child abuse
and there were 14 counts
As is stated in my letter my concerns were
with regard to risk to both public &the accused.
I have academic, professional training and accredited qualifications
in child protection and policy issues
& risk assessment
As I recall in the early stages Hall in an interview,
where he denied his crimes made reference to
suicidal thoughts,
2. we are all frequently warned about the dangers of the internet
&grooming of children by sex offenders
and this was not 1 or even 2 allegations this was 14,
over a period of 3 dacades of child abuse
which went for that time, apparently undetected.
3. public feeling is strong on this issue so there was
a clear risk
on various levels to both public and Hall so why is it that
he still remains a free man awaiting sentencing
even now having admitted guilt?
I will leave it at that
& let you make your own conclusions...
