Update on Melanie Shaw from Brian Gerrish 24/9/2014

Melanie was in No 5 Court Nottingham yesterday 23 Sept 2014 for

a 'mentions' hearing. The case started at 1058. The case was only
listed during afternoon of 22 Sept - normally public cases should
be listed with 7 days notice. We understand the case was called
for by VHS Fletchers solicitors with urgency, although the reason
for this is unclear. Possibly the hearing was driven by the fact that
Melanie had sacked VHS Fletchers some days earlier, both in
written letters and verbally.

Melanie attended in court in the morning and again in the early
afternoon after an adjournment. The reason for the adjournment
and the protracted hearing is not known.

This 'mentions' hearing appeared to be an informal case
management hearing, but the failure of the Court to give the
normal 7 days notice precluded the public from attending, and
therefore meant that Melanie was again effectively in a secret
court. It is interesting that the Court case was Tweeted out by VHS
Fletchers.

It is believed that Melanie sacked VHS Fletchers for allegedly
altering her case file notes and allegedly using their legal clerks to
represent Melanie when she believed them to be solicitors. She
was also very unhappy with their lack of progress on her case,
particularly in relation to her bail application.

We understand that aside from sacking VHS Fletchers and thus
releasing their legal aid claim, the 'mentions' hearing discussed the
progress of Melanie's case. The next steps are believed to be a
directions hearing 13 October 2014 and a full case hearing on 23
October 2014. We will be checking these dates. By 23 October
alone, Melanie will have been held in a high security prison for 3
months.

Melanie has also said that the Judge has indicated that he will be
prepared to hear a new bail application and steps are now in hand
to submit this.

In summary Melanie Shaw, a vulnerable abuse victim and vital
abuse whistleblower, remains in high security prison HMP
Peterborough, with no substantive evidence against her, no proper
NHS medication that she has taken daily over many years, no
treatment for her leg ulcer, no access her psychiatrist, no visits
from her family, interference with her mail, bullying from prison
warders, a national mainstream media black out and a stunning
silence from her MP Chris Leslie and other MPs.

Melanie Shaw, who is still innocent at law and maintains her
innocence, has now been imprisoned for 61 days.

The Crown Prosecution Service under Alison Saunders has not
only failed to produce evidence against Melanie, but has recently
allowed child abuse witness evidence tapes to be stolen from
unsecured private addresses of film contractor Swan Films.

The vicious treatment of Melanie Shaw by Nottinghamshire Police,
the CPS, the Courts and the Westminster MP's can only be
explained as their sheer desperation to silence Melanie and her
testimony of child abuse, rapes, torture and murder at Beechwood
Children's Home Nottinghamshire, and her evidenced discovery of
Nottinghamshire police lying to hide their failure to investigate
Beechwood abuses via Operation Daybreak.
