A letter a DUP MP wrote for a Tory MP facing a child sexual assault charge to support his bid to gag the press can be revealed.
Jim Shannon had urged the court to conceal the identity of Imran Ahmad Khan, who was later found guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy.
In his handwritten letter on House of Commons paper, obtained by Belfast Live, he warned that Khan could face a "clear and real threat" due to his Islamic religion.
