[Women’s groups hail Noel Clarke libel defeat
as victory for victims and press freedom]


[Women’s groups have said a high court
judgment dismissing a libel claim against
the Guardian by actor Noel Clarke marks
a victory not just for his victims,
but for press freedom and public interest
reporting as a whole.

They said too often “wealthy and abusive men” have been
able to use the courts to try to silence victims,
hiding “behind injunctions,
NDAs, [and] threats of defamation suits”.]
