Raffi Berg libel case judgment

I have some news.

You may be aware of an ongoing libel case against me filed by the BBC’s online Middle East editor Raffi Berg.

Here’s my statement in response to the judgment of the High Court today:

“I am delighted that the High Court has ruled in my favour on the key issues in the libel case brought by Raffi Berg.

The court rejected the claimant’s interpretation of the article and ruled that it expressed an opinion based on stated material.

I stand by my journalism and, if Mr Berg decides to continue the libel claim, I look forward to defending my article in court.

I would like to thank my legal team at RPC, my barrister Aidan Eardley KC, and Drop Site News, which published the article and has stood by my journalism throughout.”
