Petition Supporting Anonymity For Rape Defendants
Published June 2, 2010
Men around the world who are falsely and wrongly accused of the loathsome crime of rape suffer all manner of appalling harm, including murder, suicide, beatings, the deprivation of employment, and the loss of their good names, due to the unconscionable stigmatization that accompanies the publicity of such accusations.
We, the members of the world community concerned about the rights and dignity of those who have been falsely and wrongly accused of rape and related offenses, call upon the governments of the world, and news agencies and outlets everywhere, to grant anonymity to the presumptively innocent who have been charged with rape and related offenses, which anonymity should be lifted only upon a conviction for such charge.
We specifically support the UK Government's May 2010 proposal to grant anonymity to defendants in rape cases, and we oppose those efforts to block the proposal for the reasons stated here: http://falserapesociety.blogspot.com/2010/06/refutation-of-motion-opposing-anonymity.html
