Manchester Arena Attack Conspiracist Ordered to Pay £45,000 in Damages
Richard Hall, a conspiracist claiming the Manchester Arena bombing was staged, has been ordered to pay £45,000 in damages to survivors Martin Hibbert and his daughter Eve. Each was awarded £22,500 for harassment after Hall filmed them outside their home. Justice Steyn criticized Hall’s assertions as ‘preposterous,’ affirming that the harassment was prolonged against vulnerable individuals. Hibbert, who was left paralyzed from the attack, hopes this ruling sets a precedent against such harmful behavior, emphasizing the need to challenge false claims that trivialize real tragedies.
