This, according to the "court" was done by his own followers but is widely accepted to have been done by what is now the present leadership who thereby deliberately destroyed what ethnic harmony had existed.neil craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157898238945726349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25656996.post-26906660331060734962008-12-18T16:28:00.000+00:002008-12-18T16:28:00.000+00:00Oh, yes, we are all supposed to love Maoists now.E...Oh, yes, we are all supposed to love Maoists now.<BR/><BR/>Even the President of the European Commission has never expressed the slightest regret for his time as one.

As is the heavy reliance on anonymous prosecution witnesses (even though it is in fact six defence witnesses before this “Tribunal” who have been murdered soon after giving evidence), universally known to be paid liars.<BR/><BR/>As is the routine holding of session in camera. As is the admission of hearsay evidence. As are the rulings that no corroboration is necessary to convict a man of rape even he has pleaded not guilty, and that it matters not one jot if a prosecution witness’s written statement differs markedly from his testimony in court. As is the astonishing principle that a prosecution witness’s inconstancies are proof of trauma, and therefore of the guilt of the accused. And as are the farcical translation problems."<BR/><BR/>Welcome to New Labour Britain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
