Kangaroo Courts (Republic of Ireland)

" ... a sham legal proceeding, the outcome of which is essentially made in advance, for the purpose of providing a conviction, either by going through the motions of manipulated procedure or by allowing no defence at all."

VLPS (Victims of the Legal Profession Society) Meeting in Ballinasloe
by W. Finnerty. Wed Dec 12, 2007 16:16

Seamus,

I note what you say in your interesting article above.

However, I believe the overall situation regarding the legal profession in Republic of Ireland is in fact far, far worse than you possibly realise.

With due regard for the internationally recognised importance of HUMAN RIGHTS LAW, and its extremely deep-rooted and powerful implications in connection with WORLD PEACE (among other things), please note I have still not received ANY reply of ANY kind from Chief Justice John L. Murray (or from ANY of his senior law officer colleagues) to the registered letter I sent to him on August 28th 2007. A copy of the letter in question can be viewed at http://www.europeancourtofhumanrightswilliamfinnerty.com/ChiefJusticeMurray/28August2007/Letter.htm .

It is also the case that I have not received any reply from John Glynn (Barrister and Principal Lawyer at Patrick Hogan & Company, Ballinalsloe, County Galway, Republic of Ireland) to the registered letter I sent to him on April 3rd 2007 (copy at http://www.europeancourtofhumanrightswilliamfinnerty.com/JohnGlynn3April2007/EmailLetter.htm ).

As far as I know, Mr Glynn is also COMPLETELY ignoring the registered letter my brother and half-sister sent to him (regarding my case) on May 14th 2007 (copy at http://www.europeancourtofhumanrightswilliamfinnerty.com/JohnGlynn14May2007/Letter.htm ).

I note with interest that VLPS (Victims of the Legal Profession Society at http://www.crookedlawyers.com ) are holding a meeting tomorrow (i.e. December 13th 2007) in Ballinasloe. If you or any of your VLPS colleagues can help me regarding my case in any way, while you are in Ballinasloe, I would appreciate that very much.

As you may already know, I cannot safely enter the Republic of Ireland myself because of an extant warrant for my arrest the authorities there issued in 2002; and, I fear that if I go there the warrant in question will be used to force me to appear before a "Kangaroo Court": i.e. a sham legal proceeding, the outcome of which is essentially made in advance, for the purpose of providing a conviction, either by going through the motions of manipulated procedure or by allowing no defence at all.

	What are human rights? "Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible." The above excerpt has been taken from the following United Nations location: http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/Pages/WhatareHumanRights.aspx United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights: http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html



	A selection of media organisations and personalities have also been informed about the way our Chief Justice (Mr John L. Murray), and his senior lawyer colleagues, are turning their backs on human rights law.

	A copy of the e-mail used can be seen at the following address: http://www.europeancourtofhumanrightswilliamfinnerty.com/Media/12December2007/Email.htm

	As can be seen at the above address, Geraldine Kennedy (Irish Times Editor) heads the list.
