<div>We are representing ourselves (no lawyers) in holding the UK government accountable for failing to implement public health protection measures as 5G is rolled out across the UK.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the past four years we have worked full time on a volunteer basis, actively challenging local authorities concerning their legal obligations - through objecting to planning applications, attending council meetings and facilitating alternate dispute resolution procedures.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are now proceeding with legal action against the Secretary of State for Health and the Secretary of State of Levelling up Housing and Communities. The sealed judicial review application was served on both defendants on December 21st, 2023. Both have requested a two week extension to respond due to the Christmas and New Year holidays.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Working from our kitchen tables and cafes is no longer viable!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Due to changes in circumstances, we now require temporary office space. It is crucial we work seriously and systematically moving forward as we only have one chance to claim the rights-based safeguards built into the European Union Withdrawal Act 2018.
</div>
<div><strong><em> (June 2025 - just to say we managed without renting office space - so all the funding can be dedicated to legal costs - please see the June update!)</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Additionally, we continue to support other campaign teams with their appeals and judicial reviews, so establishing reliable systems and communication, both online and in person, is critical.

<div>Our full submission can be read <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/EECCsubmission12-9-2023-info-version.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>, and the remedies we are seeking can be found <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/21-remedies-sought-in-Section-5-of-the-submission.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. Please refer to the appendices of the submission for a detailed account of why changes in policy and procedures enacted by planning authorities are necessary.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our local actions have uncovered detailed evidence of inconsistencies and failures in regulation across different councils potentially leaving thousands of UK citizens unknowingly living within unsafe radiation zones called exclusion zones. Thousands may be (also unknowingly) susceptible to short-term symptoms such as headaches, nausea, tinnitus, dizziness, sleep disturbances and concentration issues, as well as an increased risk of long-term effects including possibly cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We seek justice and protection for all citizens, especially those suffering from Electrohypersensitivity (EHS), a condition not fully recognised by the UK government.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>EHS was recognised as a disability by the Upper Tribunal (High Court equivalent, so precedent setting) in June 2022 when an education health care plan was awarded to a UK child. EHS has also been recognised as a condition warranting early ill health retirement. <a href="https://phiremedical.org/news/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Link</a>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite these awards, the government is slow to recognise the condition. They mainly infer the symptoms as being psychosomatic, and thus deem mitigation of exposure unnecessary.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We all, particularly those with EHS, have the right to protect ourselves and have our objections to 5G mast and small cell siting fully taken into account. Public Health England lawyers affirmed that this is legally required back in August 2019.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our legal case aims to restore that right.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In summary, our case seeks to hold the UK government accountable for their policy that restricts local authorities, effectively preventing them from reconciling health and environmental impacts of 5G mast and small cell siting.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While 68% of 5G mast applications have been refused over the last two years, thanks to a dedicated group of well-informed UK campaigners, only <em>one</em> council has refused a mast on health grounds. Some councils have ignored planning application procedures altogether and allowed the erection of masts and indiscriminate activation of 5G street furniture/lamposts, without consultation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Much ongoing work is needed to hold local authorities accountable for their decision-making. Please follow <a href="https://rfinfo.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rfinfo.co.uk</a> to learn how to take advantage of our work. News of this case will also be posted on <a href="https://safetechinternational.org/category/blog/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Safe Tech International</a>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There are no legal fees as we are 'litigants in person', representing ourselves. We estimate that we will need £10,200 for office space, supplies and other expenses over the next six months.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are happy to attend Zoom meetings or visit in person, when possible, to assist campaign groups.

</div>
<div>Our case follows on from the Action against 5G case led by Michael Mansfield KC, which will be heard in the European Court of Human Rights if the <a href="https://actionagainst5g.org/case-updates/application-to-the-european-court-of-human-rights/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">application submitted</a> on December 11th, 2023 is successful. Karen is one of three claimants bringing that case. News of both cases will be posted on the <a href="https://actionagainst5g.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">actionagainst5g</a> website.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We very much appreciate any support you can offer to help us continue our work to restore all of our rights.</strong>
