Quote: News in brief Last Updated: 12:01am BST 07/07/2002 Abdel Al-Koronky Settlement of a libel action against The Sunday Telegraph by Abdel Al-Koronky was announced in the High Court on Thursday. Mr Justice Morland was told that Mr Al-Koronky's claim arose from an article that appeared in The Sunday Telegraph on September 17, 2000 entitled "Sudan Diplomat 'kept slave girl in London home' ". The article had alleged that Ms Zainab Nadir was in hiding and receiving medical treatment as a result of her treatment by Mr Al-Koronky and his family, having escaped from his house to seek asylum. It also reported Ms Nadir's claim that she had been kept as a slave by Mr Al-Koronky's family since the age of 12. The court heard that these claims were not true. Ms Nadir had been employed by Mr Al-Koronky as a domestic help to his wife. Ms Nadir had not been kept as a slave and had not in any way been treated badly or improperly by Mr Al-Koronky or his wife. The defendants unreservedly withdrew the allegations complained of by Mr Al-Koronky and had agreed to pay him very substantial damages and his costs. The defendants apologised to Mr Al-Koronky for the distress resulting from the article and the subsequent litigation. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/20...07/wbul07.xml[/QUOTE]
