In February 2024 a dossier of evidence was submitted to the Metropolitan Police with a request to commence a criminal investigation into the incitement of genocide and crimes against humanity. The allegations were made in connection with individuals associated with the Telegraph Media Group Ltd, publishers of the Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph. The dossier consisted of a 120 page document and 2559 items of supporting evidence.
The dossier provides detailed evidence that the Telegraph Media Group Ltd has incited the most serious crimes by relentless lobbying for the policies that drive climate breakdown, thereby causing mass death, mass suffering and beginning a process that will lead to the complete annihilation of several low-lying island states. The Telegraph Media Group Ltd has also taken a series of steps to encourage its readers to participate in the crimes.
Although the crime of deliberately contributing to climate breakdown is easy to understand, the legal concepts and evidence are complex.
There is an overwhelming public interest in making this evidence publicly available.
