Internet 'could override' Bulger killers' anonymity order
Lawyers are questioning whether the anonymity order for James Bulger's killers will stop people in Britain discovering who they are.
Media lawyer Mark Stephens told BBC News 24 that the High Court injunction designed to protect the anonymity of Jon Venables and Robert Thompson does not affect countries other than England and Wales.
As a result, international news organisations will be free to publish information about the pair and this information, if included in their internet editions, would then become available to people in Britain with internet access.
He added that, although the High Court injunction does not extend to Scotland and Northern Ireland, he did not think editors would publish information leading to the killers' identity.
