O hearing de Guantanamo começa para Hicks
Terça-feira, março 27o, 2007
Um detido Australian na baía de Guatanamo em Cuba transformou-se o primeiro prisioneiro prendido na base militar dos E.U. para enfrentar o prosecution sob réguas militares revisadas do tribunal dos E.U.
O skinner anterior do canguru de 31 year-old e um converso ao Islam foram o primeiro detido a vir antes que um tribunal militar revisado criado pelo congress dos E.U. após a corte suprema encontrou o ano passado a versão mais adiantada do Pentagon unconstitutional. Hicks é acusado da luta pelo al-Qaeda em Afeganistão durante a invasão Nos-conduzida em 2001 atrasado. Foi carregado originalmente com os crimes e o conspiracy de guerra cometer o assassinato, mas enfrenta agora a carga mais menos específica de fornecer a sustentação material para o terrorismo. Os grupos das direitas humanas criticaram o tribunal que diz que o processo falta proteções legais, quando o crime com que Hicks é carregado não existiu mesmo quando foi capturado em 2001. Negócio do Plea Parecer antes do tribunal para a inicial a peça de sua experimentação, Hicks do arraignment adiou incorporar um plea. Mais cedo seu advogado Australian, David McLeod, disse Hicks estêve convencido que não começaria uma experimentação justa e não governou um negócio para plead culpado se o começasse home mais logo. McLeod dito lá tinha sido discussões sobre um acordo potencial do plea sob que Hicks plead culpado no retorno para uma sentença reduzida. Austrália concordou um negócio com os E.U. que permitiriam que Hicks servisse a sua sentença em Austrália se convicted. Hearing
Mas preferivelmente o juiz, coluna marinha Ralph Kohlmann, dito dois advogados civis, including um advogado do departamento da defesa, não foi autorizado representá-lo. Os dois foram requisitados para sair da tabela da defesa quando Hicks disse que não se estabeleciria para eles que estão sendo designados como consultantes legais. One of the lawyers, Joshua Dratel, said he refused to sign an agreement to abide by tribunal rules because he was concerned the provisions do not allow him to meet with his client in private. The US military flew Hicks’ father and sister to the base and allowed them to meet privately with him in the court building before the hearing started. Hicks has previously appeared before an earlier military tribunal system created by a presidential order, which the US supreme court later ruled unconstitutional. Last year the US congress, then under a Republican majority, passed a law authorising a reconstituted tribunal regime with some adjustments but still operating outside of regular US courts or military courts-martial. The commission law permits hearsay, evidence obtained through “coercion”, to be admitted to the case, and bars detainees from appealing their detention in US courts. Coercion Hicks’ lawyers and human rights monitors observing the hearings say the trials are rigged to ensure convictions and allow the information obtained through coercion. Hicks is not accused of involvement in the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington DC and Human Rights Watch has said he could easily be tried in a regular US court. Speaking to reporters before Monday’s arraignment hearing, Air Force Colonel Morris Davis, the chief prosecutor for the tribunals, said prosecution planned to prove Hicks had provided “support for the al-Qaeda organisation”. Davis admitted critics had effectively turned public opinion against the Guantanamo tribunals but said he expected that to change once the military begins presenting evidence. “I recognize that around the world, ‘Guantanamo,’ when you say the word, has a negative connotation,” he said. “One thing I hope is that in the way we conduct these proceedings, maybe we can change some of those attitudes.” http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/ECF0AF19-25A5-448E-8EE7-750C03F4B95E.htm Have Your Say: Guantanamo hearing begins for Hicks Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
