Megrahi's lawyers to reveal 'evidence of innocence'

[This is the headline over a report in today's edition of The Independent on Sunday. The following are extracts.]

Lawyers for the Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi are to release within days vital evidence they claim will clear him of involvement in the atrocity.

The development came as Megrahi's brother and doctors revealed the Libyan's health had worsened, leaving him unable to speak from his hospital bed in Tripoli. (...)

Megrahi's Glasgow-based lawyer, Tony Kelly, who was in Tripoli last week, is to publish a detailed account of what had been planned to be used as part of the Libyan's appeal. The appeal was abandoned days before his release from a Scottish jail on compassionate grounds last month.

It is believed there is no single document which would provide an alibi for Megrahi, but a mass of evidence that supports his case. Megrahi has insisted that he can prove he is innocent of the Pan Am bombing, and wants the evidence to be published. The Libyan government is also pressing for the documents to be made public.

    SECRET LOCKERBIE PAPERS COULD SOON BE RELEASED

    Secretary of justice, Kenny MacAskill said a Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission report could be made public if those who gave evidence granted their permission.
    The independent commission concluded Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi may have been the victim of a miscarriage of justice.

    MEBO and its owner Edwin Bollier, approved that the Secretary of
    justice, Mr. MacAskill, can publish all exoneration of proofs
    delivered from MEBO to the SCCRC.

    Additional: Request of the unknown state which had delivered in 1996,
    under national security, a document to the Crown Office, about the clear facts over the MEBO MST-13 Timer fragment (Polaroidphoto picture, Scottish Police no. PT/35).

    Please give the Crown and to the secretary of justice Mr. McAskill the granted permission for opening the document under national security!
    With this act you will support the truth, the fact that Libya and its
    official Mr. Megrahi, have nothing to do with the Lockerbie Tragedy!

    We believe that a good friendship and business future will be secured with Libya.

  2. MISSION LOCKERBIE:

    The LOCKERBIE-CASE is the Biggest Fraud in the history of Scotland!

    Picture: fragment PT-35B

    This manipulated MEBO MST-13 timer fragment No. PT-35B used for the incrimination of Libya and its officials Mr. Abdelbaset Al Megrahi, in the PanAm 103 bombing was produced by Scottish Officials!

    Calls for UN inquiry into Lockerbie bombing!

    The human rights lawyer, *Mr. Gareth Peirce, who has represented a string of high-profile victims of miscarriage of justice, said that the forensic evidence on which the Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, was convicted was flawed.

    *The [Lockerbie] case was founded on win pilltars: one, that al-Megrahi was linked to a charred fragment of a MST-13 bomb timer; and second, his identification was ‘claimed’ by a man who could not be sure of his evidence. (see MEBO's Affidavit and our document no.498)
