Megrahi petition to be considered by new Justice Committee after May election

[The Minute of Proceedings for yesterday’s meeting of the Scottish Parliament’s Justice Committee records its decision on Justice for Megrahi’s petition seeking an independent inquiry into the conviction of Megrahi as follows:]

Petition PE1370: The Committee considered the petition by Dr Jim Swire, Professor Robert Black QC, Robert Forrester, Father Patrick Keegans and Iain McKie on Justice for Megrahi. The Committee agreed to write to Police Scotland seeking further information regarding the progress of Operation Sandwood, to keep the petition open and to recommend that a future justice committee gives further consideration to it.

[RB: A press release issued by Justice for Megrahi shortly before the meeting can be read here.]

The ONLY thing positive about Donald Trump being GOP nominee is he'll call out Hillary Clinton & Tony Blair on their FOUNDATION FRAUD also iWas told Trump will let Lockerbie truth be told ... it's a sad state when the Donald Trump campaign is my only hope of getting the truth about Pan Am 103 in the USA & happy to hear the petition remains open in the UK :):) http://www.cnbc.com/2016/03/02/donald-trumps-success-is-frightening-tony-blair.html

Readers are invited to comment on blog posts. All comments require to be pre-moderated by me, and I shall reject all (a) that are not related to the Lockerbie disaster or (b) that fail to meet my -- perhaps idiosyncratic -- standards of courtesy towards other contributors. Comments will not be rejected simply because I disagree with them or because I, or other contributors, find them irritating. But comments will be rejected if they distort or misrepresent the evidence; are defamatory; or if they risk embroiling me, as publisher, in defamation proceedings. I am perfectly relaxed about being sued in respect of material which I personally have posted -- but not in respect of material that others wish to post as comments and which, in any case, I often strongly disagree with.

Particularly during my sojourns in South Africa, it may not be possible for me to perform the moderation function speedily. I regret the necessity of moderation but it has been rendered inevitable by the behaviour of a particular commentator whose contributions will always and without exception be rejected.

No correspondence will be entered into regarding moderation decisions.
