Update 

Update on Robert Green Arrest and Remand Perth For immediate release and wide distribution to all free media and mainstream media worldwide Robert green appeared in Aberdeen Sheriffs Court late afternoon yesterday and has been remanded in custody in Perth Prison until a new hearing takes place on 21st February 2014 - again at Aberdeen Sheriffs Court. It is understood that Bail was strongly opposed by the Procurator Fiscal's Scotland Office under the leadership of Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland QC. Mulholland is the successor to Elish Angiolini who is believed to be the principal party in the case against Robert Green's campaign for  justice for abuse victim Hollie Greig. Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland is the ministerial head of COPFS the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, leading the system of criminal prosecutions and the investigation of deaths. He is the senior of the two Law Officers, along with the Solicitor General for Scotland. Both are appointed by the Queen on the recommendation of the First Minister, with the agreement of the Scottish Parliament. COPFS claims to play a pivotal part in the justice system, working with others to make Scotland safe from crime, disorder and danger. "The public interest is at the heart of all we do as independent prosecutors. We take into account the diverse needs of victims, witnesses, communities and the rights of those accused of crime. We support the Strategy for Justice in Scotland and, in particular, its priorities of: Reducing crime, particularly violent and serious organised crime, Tackling hate crime and sectarianism, Supporting victims and witnesses, and Increasing public confidence and reducing fear of crime." These claims appear to fly in the face of the key point of Robert Green's campaign for justice for abuse victim Hollie Grieg; that Scottish police failed to investigate abusers named by Hollie to family members and during her own police interview. Yet Hollie was declared a reliable and trustworthy witness by both professionals and Scottish police. Having been denied a lawyer sourced by his family it is understood that a Scottish Panel lawyer Peter Keen attended Robert as his defence lawyer. Keen replaced a Michael Allen who was first nominated from the Panel. It is not know if Allen either stood down or was taken off the case. Family members received no information from the Scottish Justice Department regarding the timing of the case nor did they receive satisfactory information from Aberdeen Sheriffs Court about the exact timing of Robert's hearing. No family members attended and it is not known if any members of the public or press were present. It appears highly unlikely that any members of the public would have been aware of the case and equally unlikely they could have attended in time. The Robert Green case would therefore appear to have been heard within another secret Scottish Justice hearing within the very Aberdeen Court system that is itself linked to historic aspects of the Hollie Greig abuse case. Sheriff McDonald presided over this latest case against Robert. Sources close to the case allege that McDonald was specially drafted in from Dundee as Aberdeen Sheriffs refused to be involved with the trial. The UKColum is awaiting further information concerning the reluctance of Aberdeen Sheriffs to be involved with this high profile case. Robert has recently released new information on his blog concerning the failure of the Scottish Legal system, together with an expose of activities and professional standing of members of the Scottish based 'Violate' S&M club, and he has consistently alleged that former Procurator Fiscal Elish Angiolini and other key figures failed to take proper action within the Hollie Grieg case. Robert has also been highly critical of the BBC which originally examined evidence, agreed that Hollie's case was valid and serious, but then pulled a documentary on her abuse. Such action appears to fit the BBC cover-up which has now been exposed in relation to prolific paedophile Jimmy Savile. BBC reporters also withdrew from investigations into the sexual and physical abuse of youngsters at Oxford and Cherwell Valley College, having failed to meet victims in person and see witness statements first hand. Sources close to the Robert Green case believe it was Robert's latest blog posts that resulted in his arrest and the searching of his family home under charges of breaching a Non-Harassment Order. It appears personal belongings such as computers and mobile phone were taken by the police during his arrest. Computers and phones taken from Robert's Cheshire home by Scottish Police in previous raids have never been returned - contrary to the law. The seizures denied Robert material for his defence and evidence to support his accusations of a cover-up. It now appears that the authorities are again desperate to find sufficient 'evidence' to silence Robert in his campaign to expose child abuse and the failing of the Scottish Justice system to protect youngsters. Robert can be held on remand for a maximum of 150 days. Members of the public who are concerned at the failure of the Scottish Legal System and Scottish Police to fully investigate the Hollie Greig abuse case, and are concerned for Robert Green's treatment, safety and well-being should contact the relevant authorities. Already of great public interest, we would also encourage the public to spread details of Robert's case a widely as possible. As always we encourage that all approaches to the relevant authorities are suitably robust in content and concerns, but also polite, calm and reasonable.

Robert Green

News Flash - Can you help? The UK Column team were informed this morning that Robert Green had been arrested at his home in Warrington Cheshire by Sgt Robinson Cheshire Police PC3158 and Detective Inspector Drummond of the Aberdeen Police, a unit of Police Scotland. Drummond claimed to have a Search Warrant for Robert Green's home but told family members that they would wait for Robert to return home rather than just breaking in. It is understood that Robert Green was arrested at about 1130 today and had his home searched and computers and other possessions taken by Det Insp Drummond. It is also understood that this officer was involved in the previous arrest of Robert as he campaigned to protect children from high level abusers in Scotland. Police Scotland confirmed at 1915 this evening that Robert was in custody at Queens Road Police Station Aberdeen Scotland. According to close family members, Drummond stated this morning that Robert had been arrested for breach of a Non Molestation Order which is believed to have been issued with regard to recent court actions by former Head of Law Scotland Procurator Fiscal Elish Angiolini. Robert Green has campaigned vigorously in recent years for justice for child sexual abuse victim Hollie Grieg and has alleged that the Scottish Establishment has covered up the abuse and that Angiolini failed to take appropriate action when informed of the abuse. Robert's family are very concerned for his welfare and safety at the hands of Police Scotland, particularly since he was abused by being held in solitary confinement for four days when last arrested by Scottish Police. The arrest took place whilst Robert was trying to raise public awareness in Aberdeen of the abuse of children in Scotland and abuse cover-ups by the police, courts and wider establishment. The abuse of power by Police Scotland has continued in this latest arrest, as Robert has been denied his own Solicitor, as offered by the family. Police Scotland maintained that Robert had been offered a Scottish Panel Solicitor but had refused those named. Robert therefore remains unrepresented in Scotland under a law system alien to English Common Law. Family members were bemused this evening when Inspector Drummond asked if they agreed with the actions Robert Green had taken. When asked for clarification Inspector Drummond appeared to suggest that Robert had been arrested for posting further statements about Angiolini on his web blog. The family stated they were simply concerned with Robert's welfare. Police Scotland, now the powerful State police for the whole of Scotland, reported that Robert had only been 'detained' and that he would be held for 12 hours and then either charged or released. Timings would indicate that Robert arrived at Aberdeen around 1900 this evening and therefore a decision should have been reached by early  tomorrow morning. Conservative MP for Warrington South David Mowat has been informed of Robert's arrest, and family and friends are hopeful that this Conservative MP will take action to support Robert, particularly in ensuring he has full and proper legal representation. Mr Mowat can be contacted on 0207 219 7178 or 01925 231267 or david.mowat.mp@parliament.uk. If you are concerned with Robert's welfare or the conduct of Detective Inspector Drummond Aberdeen Police or the Scottish Police under Chief Constable Scotland Sir Stephen House please ring 01786 289 070. Remember to be polite and reasonable in expressing your concerns. Please distribute this press release widely and do take action with the appropriate authorities to express your concerns at Robert's arrest and treatment.
