The following story has apeared on Yahoo!News today:-
A 25-year-old man has admitted murdering PC Sharon Beshenivsky. The news emerged after a judge lifted an order which had prevented Muzzaker Imtiaz Shah's plea being reported. PC Beshenivsky, 38, was shot dead as she responded to an alleged armed robbery at Universal Express Travel Agents in Bradford on November 18, 2005.
She was shot on her daughter Lydia's fourth birthday.
Four men remain on trial at Newcastle Crown Court for the murder and robbery.
They include Yusuf Abdillh Jamma, 20, of Small Heath, Birmingham; Raza ul Haq Aslam, 25, of Kentish Town, north London; Faisal Razzaq, 25, and his 26-year-old brother Hassan, both of Forest Gate, east London.
Shah entered the guilty plea to the murder charge on October 4.
An order was made preventing publication of the admission but that has now been lifted.
What did the judge consider was of paramount importance when the 'gag' order was made? What has changed since?

The Police need every support in tackling this 'life or death' job.

We are all waiting for the Muslims to stop killing everybody, including the Muslims. You have consistantly missed the point. Why?

There are reporting restrictions on nearly every major trial in this country. This is not unique to trials involving Muslims. What would you prefer - that they got off on a claim that the jury was prejudiced by pre-trial reporting? If you want to see these people convicted, then you want to see the trial done exactly by the book so there is no wriggle room later.
Of course these laws are there to protect the innocent, but the law says innocent until proven guilty. This means being proven guilty at the trial, which means complying with the rules that guide procedure in this country. This is how we do things here.
How is this appeasing Muslims in any case? The only reason they would not want this case reported on is if some people used it in order to produce propaganda against them. I'm from the Bradford area, and am 100% sure that the Muslims there want to see Sharon Beshenivsky's killers jailed, and all the other criminals that operate within their community caught as well. Stop seeing divisions where there are none.

I think its disgraceful that you wish to generalise in such a hideous manner. It seems a Muslim man did murder the policewoman, so why on earth would you suggest that the religion of Islam, and Muslims are to blame? The criminal is being tried by the justice system and rightly so, but do not think that I as a Muslim had anything to do with this crime, and don't think that I am happy.
After having a look through your questions I can only assume that you are an unintelligent subhuman life form, who when accusing 1.6bn Muslims of hate you do the exact same thing! The scale of the hypocrisy astounds me. I have never seen you attempt to communicate with others who do not share your faith with a view to build relationships and bridges with others. I myself never, ever judge a person by their race, religion, sex, sexuality, ethnicity or nationality, I get to know a person personally before I make any opinions of them. If we want to live in a peaceful world this is what every person should be doing and I would encourage you to do this as well. At the end of the day, if we cant live together on this planet side by side in peace we will end up dying together, which do you choose? I choose to live in peace with my neighbours who ever they are and I can that this has worked for me and my local community very well.
Peace or War, we all have to decide.

What has this question got to do wit the appeasement of the muslims?
Maybe the judge was trying to prevent publicity of the case before the trial so that the defense could not say that the publicity was prejudicial to a fair trial. That's a right of all people not just muslims - unless you believe muslims aren't entitiled to the same legal protections as other British people?

Because they didn't want a witch hunt against Muslims?
There are bad Muslims just like there are bad Christians and Jews. The difference is nobody will be chanting against Christians if John Smith is found to be a criminal.

Why does their religion come into it at all? If they were Christian would it be printed here? I dont think so, the fact is that everytime a Muslim does something it makes the national news because it is a Muslim. They dont do this with Catholics, Jews or any other religions.

They also put a gag order on Sirhan Sirhan's testimony that he assinated Robert Kennedy for Kennedy's support of Israel.
