R I P Robert Forrester
Robert Forrester, secretary of Justice for Megrahi, died yesterday after a short illness. It is immensely sad that he did not live to see the disgraceful conviction of Abdelbaset Megrahi overturned, a cause for which he worked unstintingly over many years. In the words of James Robertson, "Robert was a man whose intellect I admired and whose personality I liked immensely. I very much doubt he anticipated watching over us from another place, but I sincerely hope that if and when we achieve a result in the cause of justice Robert will somehow be alongside us in spirit, revelling in the success."

Robert will be sadly missed. He brought enthusiasm, compassion, wisdom and good humour to a cause he believed in and worked tirelessly for. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

ReplyDeleteSuch terribly sad news. Robert was a driving force for JFM and their fight for justice. My sincere thoughts and condolences to all family and friends.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it. Quincey Riddle gone?? Witty, energetic, insightful. In the beginning I thought he was a young intellectual, until I saw a picture of him and understood that he was not young. One of our greatest. Unbearable.
ReplyDeleteThis is very sad news. I always found his comments accurate, supportive and witty. We have lost another campaigner for this great cause. is there a bio or obit anywhere?
