We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

Niall Connolly, Martin McCauley and Jim Monaghan spend third Xmas in Jail

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Tuesday December 23, 2003 18:42author by catriona ruane Report this post to the editors

The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Brian Cowen, has said that he has noted
the contents of a report which claims that the three men, Niall Connolly,
Martin McCauley and Jim Monaghan, held in Colombia on charges of training
guerillas should be immediately released.

The report by a group of Irish, US and Australian lawyers and political
figures including Niall Andrews MEP, Senator Mary White and TDs Sean Crowe
and Finian McGrath has concluded that the men have not received a fair
trial, that there is no evidence to link them to the main charges against
them and that they should be released immediately.

In a Dáil answer to Mr McGrath, Ind, Mr Cowen said that he had noted the
contents of the report but would not comment until the judge issues his
verdict in the case. The minister in his written reply also said that the
trial ended in early August but the verdict by Judge Jairo Acosta is not
expected until the new year.

The observers report entitled Colombia 3; Judge for Yourself, includes
detailed analysis of the legal case and the trial process by a number of
lawyers who attended the hearings including Irish barrister, Ronan Munro
and solicitor, Pat Daly. It also includes contributions by US human rights
advocate Natalie Kabaskalian and Australian lawyer Shaun Kerrigan both of
whom criticise what they claim were prejudicial statements by senior
Colombian political and military figures during the trial.

The men who were arrested on August 11, 2001 as they arrived in the
capital, Bogota, from a demilitarised zone controlled at the time by FARC
guerillas in the south east of the troubled Latin American country will now
spend their third Christmas in a Colombian jail where, the report states,
they are constantly exposed to physicial danger.

"These men are now to spend their third Christmas in jail and away from
their families who are deeply concerned for their safety and well being. We
are glad that the minister has read the document and noted its contents and
we can only hope that Judge will make his decision based on the law and
will not be subjected to any outside political or military pressure" said
Caitriona Ruane, spokesperson for the Bring them Home campaign.

Jo Ranting the colombian junta black ops propaganda spokesperson appears to be behind the above false and totally ignorant statement.
The colombian junta authorities have no physical, or forensic evidence against the 3 irish men. They have no testimonies, or eye witnesses against the 3 men, yet have held the 3 Irish men in a colombian junta prison, for 3 years. The men have yet to be sentenced and are not violent hardened criminals.
The scenario in colombia is worse than guantanomo bay.

There is a lot of sympathy and public support for the men, who are in the hands of the harsh unjust colombian junta authorities, which is why Catriona Ruane was elected recently.

Why fear these three men that will no longer be in Columbia. Why?

Send them home as they have suffered enough.

If you love Colombia as a wounderful and beautiful place and you wish this country to have a rich culture you need to get on with making Colombia a country rich in Culture let the people know how Beautiful Columbia is.
