Campaigners call on regulator to drop Proudman prosecution

Description

Dr Proudman, who denies the charges, was one of the instigators of another open letter last month calling on judges to resign their membership of the Garrick.

Signatories to the letter to the BSB include Labour MP Apsana Begum, Dr Elizabeth Dalgarno, director and founder of the SHERA Research Group, leading family law solicitor Dr Ann Olivarius KC (Hon) and women’s rights activist Helen Pankhurst, the great-granddaughter of Emmeline Pankhurst. Other names reflect Dr Proudman’s work on women’s rights and particularly in acting for victims of domestic abuse.
