Wednesday April 09, 2008 16:37 by Ray - various orgs.(pers cap) - knows the appellant
Making sure justice is seen to be done A New Yorker who was a witness at the scene of the World Trade Centre bombing in 1993 has filed documentation in the Supreme Court that the Ministry for Justice here suppressed evidence in her claim for asylum. She is requesting that activists, members of the public or people interested in immigration/asylum issues come to her Supreme Court appeal on Friday April 11, at 11 am at the Four Courts, Dublin (I assume). I met Ms. L several days ago (I have known her for the past three years), and she expressed the worry that in the absence of impartial observers at her Supreme court appeal, both the Irish authorities and the security agencies of her home country (the United States) would perpetrate abuses of process so as to deny her asylum and return her to the persecution she fears awaits her should she be returned unwillingly to the United States. Given what we have had confirmed over the past few years about the modus operandi of the US intelligence and security services, her fears are not imaginary. In any case, sympathy both moral and practical for a vulnerable individual in Ireland's biased and manifestly unjust asylum system is not only natural, but the duty of any conscious and concerned citizen. |

I have been in contact with Ms. L. again - she's cool with these details going up:
Appellant name - Ms. Lovejoy.
Supreme Court Appeal #436-2006
Venue: Supreme Court courtroom, the Four Courts.
Date and time: 11am, Friday 11th April.
Do you have a link for the original High Court case thats being appealed to the Supreme court?
Can't find it on www.courts.ie
Thanks for your interest. To make a short story long:
Although I qualify for political asylum (according to accepted international criteria from United Nations High Commissioner For Refugees (UNHCR) this cirteria has been disregarded in my case, and in many others.
The Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL) has reported that the appeal system for decisions on refugee status is prone to manipulate a "rubber stamp" confirmation all decisions. (I paraphrase their report "Justice Matters" "The Case of the Refugee Appeals Tribunal."
The only option to challenge that system is judicial review in the High Court.
In case number 2004-1157-JR I applied for judicial review and WAS SUCCESSFUL: Respondents (The Refugee Appeals Tribunal ("RAT") & Minister For Justice) consented that the decision in my case should be vacated "ON THE GROUNDS SET FORTH": that is, on the grounds I alleged: disqualifying political bias. That is, a Justice Department known to cooperate in CIA human rights abuses cannot decide asylum applications of victims of CIA human rights abuses.
But unlike every other type of judicial review, ONLY REFUGEES DO NOT THEN WIN THEIR CASE: they are forced to go back to the same corrupt, biased tribunal and go thru their case all over again.
It is a violation of Constitutional justice.
Predictably, I was returned to RAT and refused again.
NOW THE COURTS REFUSE TO HEAR MY JUDICIAL REVIEW EVEN THOUGH THE RESPONDENTS HAVE ALREADY ADMITTED THAT THEY HAVE DISQUALIFYING BIAS IN MY CASE.
