There is a pronouncement going around to the effect a Beis Din is adjudicating the matter, so no one may speak against E. Berland.
But…
First of all, this “injunction” (and the not-disrespectful title for Berland yemach shemo) is temporary, until the court reaches the verdict.
And this prohibition pertains only to those who signed a Shtar Berurin, his full-time opponents, not me, nor you. We still have the full obligation to warn Jews away from a man whose guilt is beyond doubt (the Chafetz Chaim doesn’t require a Beis Din).
Why is a new court case needed when the matter was already decided by a prior court (headed by Rabbi Nachman Ze’ev Frank and Rabbi Ya’acov Meir Shechter shlita) — find the verdict here (and translated)?!
Originally, the matter was supposed to go before more important courts (like the present tribunal), but these had insisted a decision first be rendered by Breslov’s own rabbis. So, here we are (after quite an interval, let me add!). And Berland didn’t show to the original court’s hearings, claiming they were biased. (“Biased” because they already knew him, but not because they had opposed him before! (Indeed, many rabbis had long known of his extreme wrongdoing but inexcusably did nothing about it when they could have saved countless victims until things became public anyhow.) Are they even allowed to re-open the case?!
By the way, there is good reason to assume the document’s language and signatures are at least partially false. Beis Din rarely issues such announcements, let alone paying for wide distribution, so these are typically re-assembled and altered by the side who wishes them made public.
Update: That same Beis Din subsequently found the abominable Berland guilty as sin, of course:
