Members of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) gathered outside the Courts of Justice in Belfast today in solidarity with the makers of the documentary 'No Stone Unturned'. Two journalists involved in making the film were arrested on Friday 31 August. This morning an application for judicial review is due to come before the High Court for mention. There was a large attendance this morning outside the court, led by Gerry Carson, NUJ Irish executive cathaoirleach and Alison Millar, vice president of the ICTU. Prior to the hearing, NUJ assistant general secretary, Séamus Dooley, met the journalists privately to assure them of continued trade union support and solidarity. They then joined NUJ members and supporters outside the court house for a brief gathering before entering the court. Séamus Dooley said: "The National Union of Journalists stands firmly with Barry McCaffrey, Trevor Birney and Fine Point Films in their resistance to this flawed police process. 'No Stone Unturned' is an uncomfortable documentary. It is deeply disturbing in the very best tradition of investigative journalism.”
