"Jailed anti-transgender schoolteacher Enoch Burke's mother and sister could potentially find themselves behind bars later this week after a High Court judge ordered they appear before him for contempt of court."
"Mr Justice Brian Cregan today informed Mr Burke's mother Martina, a teacher, and sister Ammi, a solicitor, that he was invoking the court's contempt jurisdiction against them arising from disturbances in his courtroom last week."
Mr Justice Brian Cregan has invoked the High Court's contempt jurisdiction against Martina Burke and Ammi Burke after disturbances in his courtroom last week. He ordered both to appear before him for a contempt hearing scheduled for Wednesday. Martina Burke is a teacher and Ammi Burke is a solicitor. The contempt proceedings arise directly from disruptions that occurred during recent court proceedings. Enoch Burke, an anti-transgender schoolteacher currently jailed for contempt, has been imprisoned for 599 days. The hearing could potentially result in custodial sentences for Martina and Ammi depending on the court's findings.
