Both of the "heavy" Scottish daily newspapers today run stories about the reaction of UK relatives of those killed on Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie to the recent press reports that transfer of Abdelbaset Megrahi back to Libya to serve the remainder of his sentence may be imminent. The Herald's long piece can be read here, and The Scotsman's shorter one here.
I would reiterate, however, that the only person who knows whether and, if so, when an application for transfer will be made is Mr Megrahi; and that the granting of any such application, if made, by the Scottish Ministers cannot be regarded as a foregone conclusion.
The Scottish mainstream media should stop to magnify the Prisoner Transfer Agreement (PTA) and publish the facts:
ReplyDeleteAbdelbaset al Megrahi and Libya are intitled to get their honour back by a clear decision of the appeal court due to start on the 27th of April 2009 !
Mr. Megrahi said: "This is the real way to clear my name before I go back to my homeland Libya." Mr. Al-Megrahi has consistently maintained his innocence and has vowed to stay in Scotland and win his freedom through the appeal courts.
MEBO has already disposed of all the needed exonerating evidence to the Defence Team and the High Court.

The second Lockerbie appeal process has all good ingredients for a super criminal film document. Abdelbaset al Megrahi's long-awaited appeal begins on 28 April '09 at the High Court in Edinburgh and will find a successful end for Mr. Megrahi and Libya.

It has been discovered that a key piece of evidence - which the FBI says was analysed in the US - may never have left Britain!!!
