pokkets says: Under French Law, people suspected of torture, can be charged while on French soil. Torture?, Immunity? Words. What it's called isn't as important as what it is. Names can be worthless Try read this pokkets. Something isn't right. They say it isn't legal to dismiss the case. Why are they letting Rumsfeld off the hook? Friends in very high places? I dunno, it just doesn't fit. "The same principle has been applied to former Heads of State, as demonstrated in the case of General Augusto Pinochet, against whom no immunity was found following an order issued by a Belgian investigating judge, as well as in a decision of the United Kingdom’s House of Lords. Other examples include the case of former Chadian Head of State, Hissen Habre, against whom a trial for crimes of torture is scheduled to soon begin in Senegal." http://www.fidh.org/spip.php?article4932 This decision did not question the torture allegations documented in the complaintI think this is important to note. They didn't even look at the evidence. The case was just dismissed. |
