FF Cllr Backs Colombian Legal System

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Wednesday September 28, 2005 19:14author by FF Watcher Report this post to the editors

Fianna Fáil councillor Gary Keegan will propose a motion to Dublin City Council on Monday night calling for the Government to enter into an extradition treaty with the Colombian Government

Text of Motion:
In view of the widespread deprivation caused by drugs in Dublin, that this City Council calls on the Irish Government to initiate a bi-lateral extradition treaty with Columbia.

While the issue of drugs is an important one and action is needed, the reality is that the Colombian Government is a human rights nightmare condemned by all right-thinking people as not meeting basic human rights standards.

Anyone extradited to Colombia, and the recent debate about the three Irishmen who are on the run from the Colombian Government should have made this clear, has no chance of getting a fair trial.

Information on Colombia's human rights record can be found here: http://www.lasc.ie/news/colombia_amnesty_2005.html

girl ahead of me in the queue was colombian. nice wood floors, today's copy of the irish times, a couple of phone books for people to have a look at. "they're very old" said the nice lady who deals with the inquiries. She helped out the colombian girl, wants to live in Ireland, very helpful, answered my short inquiry, i shared the lift with the colombian.

"Miss, [said I] would you like the irish government to extradite the chiefs of the cocaine cartels to ireland?"
"there's a lot of them" [she replied]
"oh its ok, we're going to have really good prisons soon, and they'll be secure enough" said i ever proud of the auld sod.
: "pablo escobar didn't get a prison, he just got a restricted to a mountain top with 200 of his closest associates, and a fair deal of his favourite friends who liked being called bitch".
(she didn't say that. thats fiction. satire indeed.)

I support all attempts by the Irish government to extradite Colombian drug cartels to Ireland.
