EDO Verdict last week
The ZF regards the acquittal of the seven who admitted causing £180,000 of criminal damage in the EDO factory in Brighton as an utter disgrace. (The seven argued that they were seeking to prevent ‘Israeli war crimes’).
It seems that the ‘rule of law’ in the UK has effectively broken down, since it varies according to the political bias of Judges.
The ZF:
- calls on the UK Government to censure Judge George Bathurst-Norman who appears to have effectively directed the Jury to a “not guilty” verdict.
- hopes that the prosecution refers the case to the Court of Appeal for clarification of the law.
- Is complaining to the Office of Judicial Complaints and calls on its supporters to do the same (the form can be found from this link http://tinyurl.com/2appu3d )

Rate this:
Jonathan,
Will the UK govt censure the Judge? I have my doubts. I refer to the attached:
Mr Hague says that it is important to establish whether Israel did enough to prevent deaths but he also calls on Israel to end "unacceptable and counter-productive" restrictions on access to Gaza:
"I deplore the loss of life during the interception of the Gaza Flotilla. Our Embassy is in urgent contact with the Israeli Government. We are asking for more information and urgent access to any UK nationals involved. We have consistently advised against attempting to access Gaza in this way, because of the risks involved. But at the same time, there is a clear need for Israel to act with restraint and in line with international obligations. It will be important to establish the facts about this incident, and especially whether enough was done to prevent deaths and injuries.
