Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Private Eye editor Ian Hislop and former shadow Scottish secretary Sir Teddy Taylor have written to the United Nations calling for a public inquiry into the Lockerbie bombing.
The letter to the UN General Assembly has also been signed by Jim Swire, who lost his daughter Flora on the Pan Am flight.
It has also been signed by Professor Robert Black, one of the architects of the Scottish court that convicted al-Megrahi of the bombing.
Both Dr Swire and Prof Black believe Megrahi is innocent
The letter calls for the inquiry to investigate allegations of tampering with evidence, the withholding of evidence from the defence counsel and the harassment of potential witnesses.

He "invented a crime of unconscious sedition" [2].
A famous quote of his in this respect was "Let them bring me prisoners, and I will find them law"
