American seeking asylum needs observers for Supreme Court appeal![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 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. |
