BRITISH WOMAN MAY FACE TRIAL OVER ALLEGATION SHE DEFAMED LAWYER

Jago Russell, Chief Executive of Fair Trials International which has helped Miss Wylde in the case, said: "It beggars belief that Serena Wylde is facing a criminal trial and the threat of months in a foreign jail for making a confidential complaint to a regulatory body.

"This prosecution flies in the face of free speech and puts those in positions of power beyond reproach."
