The Courts in Ireland will decide about the Colombian 3
A short summary of the above article in Spanish.
more or less what Bertie Ahern said about the extradition to Colombia, that there is not such as treaty between countries.
That Bertie didn't know that there were back until he listened to the news...
full translation available if requested Agosto 7 de 2005
Tribunales de Irlanda decidirán extradición de tres irlandeses condenados por entrenar a las Farc
El primer ministro de Irlanda, Bertie Ahern, agregó que las autoridades colombianas no han hecho esta solicitud.
El funcionario explicó que entre Irlanda y Colombia no hay acuerdos legales en materia de extradición y señaló que “esa situación no se puede ignorar. Si las autoridades quieren hacer una petición, la tramitaremos por los cauces normales, pero es cosa de los tribunales”.
El esperado pronunciamiento del funcionario irlandés se produce un día después de que la Radiotelevisión Irlandesa (RTE) informara la llegada de los tres hombres a ese país hace unos días y de que el vicepresidente de Colombia, Francisco Santos, solicitara la extradición de los tres hombres argumentando que Irlanda debía mostrar su compromiso con la lucha contra el terrorismo internacional.
También Ahern negó, que el retorno de los prófugos a Irlanda haya sido parte de las discusiones mantenidas con el Sinn Fein (brazo político del IRA), para que la organización terrorista declarase el fin de la lucha armada hace unos días.
El primer ministro irlandés también explicó que no tenía conocimiento “de que estaban en Irlanda hasta que se difundió la noticia. Nadie nos avisó con antelación”.
Martin McAuley, Niall Connolly y Jim Monaghan fueron arrestados en agosto de 2001 en el aeropuerto de Bogotácuando se dirigían a París después de visitar la zona de distensión que tenían las Farc en las fallidas negociaciones del gobierno Pastrana con las Farc.
Los tres irlandeses, señalados de colaborar con el IRA y de entrenar a las Farc en tácticas terroristas, estuvieron detenidos en Bogotáhasta abril de 2004, cuando un juez los absolvió, aunque debían permanecer en Colombia.
Pero en diciembre pasado, el Tribunal Superior de Bogotácondenó en segunda instancia a cada uno de ellos a 17 años de prisión por enseñar a los guerrilleros de las Farc a elaborar explosivos. Ya en esa época se les había perdido el rastro en Colombia.
Ahern recordó que los llamados “tres de Colombia” han creado problemas para su gobierno y para el los Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido.
“Han creado dificultades en el proceso de paz en varias ocasiones durante los últimos años. Su vuelta también ha creado enormes dificultades. En mi opinión no ayuda al proceso de paz”, concluyó.

Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1*Uribe has offered a meeting to FARC and the place has been chosen, up the mountains and out of the way. there discussions will be held and prisoners swapped.
*the suggestion of imprisoning the irish men in ireland made by Harney has been widely reported in south america as an irish government statement though it is laughably non-legal, and the changes to the law to make it possible would set a precedent which would be too "liberal" for the PDs to think it worthwhile, are they to pave the way for trans-national prisoner transfers? doubt it. So then are we to see double jepordy style another trial? Would that not be prejudiced by the media statements? Do Irish courts recognise the convictions as safe?
At end, you see behind the smokescreens that Harney and Co. have effectively guaranteed the return of the 3 men. And the colombians themselves aren't that upset about it.
I'm delighted that yiz are back. Ignore Harney and similar creatures.
Bertie, do not even dream of sending them back. No rational person would want anyone handed over to the likes of the terrorist regime in Colombia.
Furthermore, no reasonable person would accept the guilty verdict, the "justice system" in Colombia is a bad joke (even by our standards) so jailing them here is not an option.
In an interview with radio melodía Uribe has said he is seeking their extradition, 'extradition today is a feature which I call natural in international relations, when international relations are normal such a feature may be applied without applying an treaty, the government can not be negligent, or be po-faced, we are working prudently with the [colombian] ministeries of justice and the prosecutor's office to bring this process before the Irish".
The story is being covered on Colombia indymedia e.g. and other indymedia collectives in the region. We are watching it closely.

Cead Mile failte abhaile, Jim Martin Niall,
