The Vacuum hearing postponed
The potentially landmark human rights case brought against Belfast City Council by The Vacuum has been delayed until next month because no judge could be found.
The Belfast Telegraph reports that lawyers for The Vacuum are citing Articles 9 (Freedom of thought, conscience and religion) and 10 (Freedom of expression) of the European Convention of Human Rights.
Speaking outside the court yesterday, editor Richard West said,
We have had a lot of people come down today. There is a growing interest in the case, and there will be even more so next month because of the delayed expectation.
No comment from the Council.

If Belfast council carry on like this, they’ll have no council left to run. It will be broke…
Perhaps they’ll get the message that their religious beliefs are NOT any form of justification for imposing censorship on other people.
