Christian Voice Press Release \u2013 19.00 hrs Wednesday 7th<\/sup> March 2012<\/p>\n

Christian \u2018Not Guilty\u2019 in Stonewall email case<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Stonewall witness fails to show<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A Christian had a malicious communication case against him for sending a strongly-worded email to the Stonewall lobby group dismissed this afternoon when the only prosecution witness failed to turn up.<\/p>\n

Raj Bhachoo was prosecuted after sending an email not just warning Stonewall of the fires of hell but linking homosexuality to child sexual abuse.\u00a0 But Stonewall\u2019s Information Officer, Louise Kelly, did not appear and the prosecution case – they could not even produce evidence of the email in question – collapsed in her absence.<\/p>\n

Stephen Green congratulates Raj Bhachoo after his case was dismissed this afternoon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The case was heard at Camberwell Green Magistrates Court this afternoon, and Christian Voice National Director Stephen Green had agreed to attend as an expert witness.<\/p>\n

Stephen Green said after the case:<\/p>\n

\u2018Raj Bhachoo certainly expressed himself in a robust way, but Stonewall\u00a0will be the first to champion freedom of expression for their own side.\u00a0 They called me a \u2018bigot\u2019 and shortlisted me for a mock award last year, but I am grown-up enough not to go flying down to the police station.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u2018I agreed to appear as an expert witness on Raj\u2019s behalf, to show (a) that the word \u2018queer\u2019 is no longer a pejorative term amongst homosexuals, (b) that homosexual men have a greater tendency to commit sexual offences against children than heterosexual men and (c) that Stonewall are themselves fond of abusing their opponents.\u00a0 But with no case to answer,\u00a0my evidence\u00a0was not needed.\u2019<\/p>\n

The verdict marks the end of a nine-month ordeal for Raj, who was refused a not guilty plea last year in the same court and had to apply to the Crown Court for a retrial.\u00a0 By the grace of God his application was successful.\u00a0 Raj came to the attention of Christian Voice late last year when he telephoned for some leaflets against Tesco’s \u00a330,000 support of\u00a0Gay Pride to give out at his local store.<\/p>\n

Born into a Sikh family, Raj became a Christian 8 years ago and is a staunch supporter of the Authorised Version of the Bible, which fed his early walk to faith.<\/p>\n

Raj joined Christian Voice then told us about the Stonewall case.\u00a0 No other Christian group would support him, but National Director Stephen Green was appalled by the miscarriage of justice and found a criminal lawyer to represent him.\u00a0 Stonewall thought they could bully our brother, but when it came to it, they lacked the courage even to press their case.<\/p>\n

Stephen Green concluded: ‘Thank God that justice has at last been done for our brother in Christ.’<\/p>\n
