News Blackout - Removal of Ban on "The Truth of the Lie"



News coverage / News blackout
BANNED BOOK / UNBANNED BOOK
'Maddie: The Truth of the Lie"
by Dr. Gonçalo Amaral

There have been so many articles published about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann that is is no easy task to search for reports that refer specifically to the McCanns efforts to ban Dr. Goncalo Amaral's book "Maddie: The Truth of the Lie" and/or to sue Dr. Amaral for libel. The text to these can be read HERE - (Maddie Case Files archive) or at the original websites.
