Plea to UN over army's dirty tricks

THE case of a military intelligence whistleblower threatened with
prosecution for revealing the army's dirty tricks to The Sunday Times is to
be raised in a formal report to the United Nations by a leading human
rights group, writes Liam Clarke.
The Ministry of Defence has been trying to establish the identity of the
whistleblower, who used the pseudonym Martin Ingram, since he spoke to The
Sunday Times last November.

Jane Winter, director of British Irish Rights Watch, will meet Ingram later
this week and report to the UN's special rapporteur on freedom of
expression and opinion, part of the department of Mary Robinson, the UN
human rights commissioner.

The report by British Irish Rights Watch - an independent non-governmental
organisation which monitors human rights in Northern Ireland - will ask for
a halt to attempts to prosecute Ingram for talking to The Sunday Times. It
will also protest against injunctions imposed on Times Newspapers in an
attempt to halt the disclosures.

Ingram is a former member of the force research unit, the section of the
British Army which handles undercover agents in Northern Ireland. He was
the main source for a series of articles published last August and November.

They revealed how an army undercover unit allowed a gun later used to kill
a soldier to remain in the hands of the IRA and how a unit set fire to
offices used by Sir John Stevens in an attempt to obstruct an investigation.
