Daily Mail sued over ‘Muslim Call’ story

By Sarah Limbrick

A woman who claims she was libelled in a Daily Mail story has launched a legal battle for compensation of up to £100,000.

Helen Green is suing publishers Associated Newspapers over a story headed: “Children told to copy lines from Muslim Call to prayer – to practice their handwriting”.

She claims the story, and readers’ comments, published on the paper’s website were defamatory, and is demanding damages and an injunction banning repetition of the allegations at the centre of her claim.
