Secret courts organized by the police and legal worthies
operate in Northern Ireland. Evidence is given by informers and double agents
with the aim of creating a system of extra-judicial measures including
executions and secret prisons. The courts comprise Anglican clergymen, some detectives and Masonic judges. The effect of their decisions is to deny access
to legal remedies, incarcerate suspects without trial and introduce
professional bans.
In Antrim this secret court is known as the County Antrim
Grand Jury. It awards bursaries for research into constitutional law and takes
submissions from detectives.In March 2013 the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland called for the summoning of these Star Chambers.
