About this episode
UN Pressures UK on Unlawful Surveillance of Lawyers: The United Nations is demanding answers from the UK government regarding unlawful surveillance by Northern Irelands police on lawyers. The McCullough Review uncovered cases of improper access to journalists phone data and spying on a solicitor inside a courthouse. Lawyers from Phoenix Law, Darragh Mackin and Peter Corrigan, were targeted while handling an appeal for clients convicted in the 2009 murder of Constable Stephen Carroll. The UNs intervention is seen as support against state overreach, with potential violations of international rules protecting legal professionals. The UN asked for details on the spying in January, but the UK has yet to respond, leaving the lawyers considering lawsuits and questioning how a democracy handles power plays.
