Sandy Hook Redux: UK Terror Survivors Sue Extremist

The BBC reports:

Manchester Arena bomb survivors have filed landmark legal action against a conspiracy theorist who claims the attack was faked. Martin and Eve Hibbert, who were left with severe disabilities after the 2017 blast, are suing Richard D. Hall [photo] for defamation and harassment.

It is the first time such action has been launched in the UK against a conspiracy theorist. Martin Hibbert was paralysed from the waist down and his daughter Eve left severely disabled by the Manchester Arena blast which killed 22 people in 2017.
