I am absolutely disgusted that Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing is to be released on so called humanitarian grounds. this is the man convicted of the killing in 1988 of 259 people on the plane and another 11 on the ground.
Al-Megrahi an intelligence officer for Libya was only imprisoned in 2000 with a recommendation that he serve minimum of 27 years, the so called humanitarian grounds are that he has terminal pancreatic cancer and has only three months to live.I say so what, other prisoners have died in jail, this mans crime is so terrible that not only should the authorities let him die in jail they should leave his corpse in a cell for the full 27 years.
The real reason for this is to curry favour with the Libyan Leader Gaddafi, once again it is all about oil. The final decision is yet to be made officially, I hope that Kenny MacAskill the Scottish Justice Minister thinks long and hard about the effect on relatives of the survivors, what a way to serve the memory of those killed.
Al Magrahi and Ronnie Biggs will be celebrating together.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine if you was a British bloke who blew up a Libyan airliner and was in a Libyan jail? . You'd have received a trial lasting 45 minutes and then summarily executed on live TV.
And that's no joke.
