Colombia Three Trial Ends

Colombia's show trial of three Irish patsies concludes.

The trial of three Irishmen in Colombia draws to a close this week amid growing concerns for the safety of Niall Connolly, James Monaghan and Martin McCauley. The right of the three to be presumed innocent has been constantly undermined in statements emanating from senior military figures and in speculative press coverage. International observers are agreed that the trial would and should have collapsed long ago had international norms been respected.

Write to the Government of President Alvaro Uribe Vélez, Palacio De Narino, Santafe De Bogota D.C., Colombia. Or e-mail:[email protected] – and call for the men’s immediate return to their families.

I'll laugh my ass off if they get convicted. Hopefully they'll rot for a long time in jail.

And you hope they'll be convicted and rot in jail because.....?

Whether they are guilty or not.

IMHO, it would be equally unfair if as innocent men they are convicted, or if as guilty men they are set free.

There's no way to know for sure which of them's going to happen yet.

First they said they were there on holiday.....
