This statement below has been retrieved from the web site of the London EVENING STANDARD in the past 10 minutes or so.


The reason why we are reproducing it here is not anything to do with the particular communications between Isabella Freeman and the London Evening Standard.

We are going to refer to some parts of the statements which raise questions about the legitimacy of the conduct, decisions, actions and claims made by the CURRENT bureaucracy in control of the Tower Hamlets Council.

Isabella Freeman has been described as the "monitoring officer” many times in the past. But how many people in Tower Hamlets know what it that she does in that is stated capacity and role in the London borough of Tower Hamlets.


We are preparing a NEW series of Questions about Tower Hamlets Council and we shall post the questions on this blog as well as on other associated AADHIKARonline and Khoodeelaar! Campaign blogs, web sites and social network sites.

Here then is the London EVENING STANDARD's statement that is dated 15 August 2012 which retrieved from the website thisislondon.co.uk at 2040-2045 GMT today Sunday 19 August 2012




Isabella Freeman

On 2 May we reported allegations that Isabella Freeman, the Assistant Chief Executive (Legal Services) and Monitoring Officer of Tower Hamlets, had shown a lack of care about alleged voter fraud in Tower Hamlets and, on the contrary, was involved in a deliberate cover-up.
We accept that those allegations were untrue and any suggestion that Isabella Freeman had not overseen the correct procedures was wrong. She has, in fact, taken steps so that the council has the most robust systems and processes permitted within electoral law to ensure the integrity of the electoral register and identify any malpractice.  Tower Hamlets electronically scans 100 per cent of postal votes and rejects any that have non-matching signatures. The article also incorrectly stated that Ms Freeman had blamed Muslim voters for the claims by others of voter fraud in Tower Hamlets. We apologise to Ms Freeman.
