In July last year I highlighted that legal firm Schillings was trying to prevent former Uzbekistan ambassador Craig Murray from publishing his book, ‘The Catholic Orangemen of Togo and Other Conflicts’. In December, the Observer’s Pendennis reported:

The manuscript has not yet been made public, but it is thought that Spicer’s objections must involve revisiting the time Murray told a parliamentary committee he felt he’d been “set up” by Spicer, who was “extremely difficult to pin down and shifty”.
…
Murray, who had his first book published despite an attempt at censorship by the Foreign Office, says he will not be put off. He plans to post it on the internet in its original form. “There are now 122 electronic copies safe in 27 different jurisdictions, all to hit the net,” he tells me. “In the modern age, you can’t suppress the truth as you could when a few printing presses were the only means of mass communication. I have also started up Atholl publishing to produce copies myself for sale, primarily through Amazon.”

That day is tomorrow, Monday. So spread the word.
