In her annual Speech to British Parliament on May 9, 2012, the Queen announced a libel law reform (see article below).  Rachel Ehrenfeld of ACD/EWI issued the following statement:

"An American citizen I set out in New York to defend myself from Britain's draconian and antiquated libel tourism law and succeeded. New York State was first to pass the Anti-Libel Terrorism Law" (AKA "Rachel's Law") in May 2008. The Federal SPEECH Act, protecting all Americans writers and publishers in print and on the internet followed in August 2010. I am delighted that my actions in the US spurred the free speech reform movement in the UK to fight for and hopefully soon achieve a long over due reform of their libel law. One only hopes that the British Bar Council will not succeed in watering down the proposed Defamation Bill."

-Rachel Ehrenfeld, Ph.D., author of Funding Evil; How Terrorism is Financed- and How to Stop It, is director of NY based American Center for Democracy:
