Topic History of: Disturbing sentence in Times Law Report

JK2006 In the decision allowing the BBC to transmit an interview with Babar Ahmad it says the Minister of Justice is "entitled to maintain a policy of normally refusing permission for the broadcasting of interviews with prisoners".

I discovered two cases - Simms/O'Brien and Hirst - where it was found by judges that prisoners MUST be allowed to give interviews to the media when protesting their innocence.

I thought this was an essential human right.

Can an expert clarify please?
