Case of Hyrbyair Marri

10/03/09

The Crown Prosecution Service has decided not to seek a retrial of Hyrbyair Marri on two charges relating to the inciting of others to commit terrorist acts abroad in pursuit of self-government for Baluchistan. The CPS Counter Terrorism Division has carefully considered the evidence against Hyrbyair Marri in light of the jurys verdicts and decided that the case no longer meets the tests set out in the Code for Crown Prosecutors.
