(BBC) The elder brother of the Manchester Arena bomber has demanded his evidence be barred from use in a criminal prosecution before he will appear at the public inquiry into the atrocity.
Ismail Abedi, 27, from Manchester, has previously refused to answer any of the inquiry’s questions.
He claimed a general privilege against self-incrimination.
His lawyers have now asked the chairman to seek a formal undertaking from the attorney general.
They want it to prevent the use of evidence by Ismail to the inquiry being used against him in any future criminal proceedings.
