Rape campaigners oppose anonymous testimony

Further to Tuesday's post about the threat posed by anonymous court testimony, there is a letter in today's paper, in reply to the article I blogged, from two rape campaigners (Cristel Amiss of the Black Women's Rape Action Project and Ruth Hall of Women Against Rape) regarding the threat such testimonies already pose in the workplace disciplinary field; namely, that they know of a woman facing dismissal because of anonymous accusations, which she cannot counter, which she suspects emanate from the man she says raped her. (There's also one from John Laughland – a well-known dictators' defender – about its use in war crimes tribunals.)
