More than 15,000 people have signed the online petition of support for Simon Singh, the British science writer who lost a motion to dismiss a libel suit because the judge ruled that the word "bogus" must be interpreted as deliberately dishonest. The case arose after Singh criticized the British Chiropractic Association for claiming that its members can help treat children with colic, sleeping and feeding problems, frequent ear infections, asthma and prolonged crying. Singh is appealing the judge's ruling, and Sense About Science is spearheading a campaign to modify the laws, which are heavily weighted against writers.
Please support the campaign to reform British libel laws by signing the petition at http://www.senseaboutscience.org.uk/index.php/site/project/333/
