Actualité - Terrorist proceedings "a show trial for political ends"
Franc-Parler publie un article provenant du journal The Dominion pour dénoncer les mesures secrètes qu'utilise le Canada dans le cadre de procès au sujet de la "guerre au terrorisme" et de la "sécurité nationale". Ces procès servent des objectifs politiques. Avec la "guerre au terrorisme", le gouvernement canadien attaque les droits démocratiques et crée les conditions propices à l'émergence d'un État fasciste. Le cas des 17 prisonniers de Sud de l'Ontario démontrent que l'État canadien, avec la complicité de l'hystérie des médias bourgeois, mène une campagne de terreur pour diviser la corps politique et créer une atmosphère de guerre civile et "d'insurrection appréhendée" en attaquant les libertés civiles.
Defence lawyers representing the 17 men being held as terrorist suspects in Southern Ontario since June 2 are protesting the recent publication ban levied by Justice of the peace Keith Currie.
Rocco Galati, the defence lawyer representing 21-year-old Ahmad Mustafa Ghany, told reporters, "I want the public to see the bail hearing, I want the public to assess for itself and have confidence in the administration of justice and the only way to do that is with a live feed."
Galati accused "confidential police sources" of unfairly leaking selected information to the media "to ensure the denial of a fair bail hearing and the denial of a fair trial."
Aljazeera quoted Galati condemning what he described as "a show trial for political ends," noting the intention was "to influence the vote in the House of Commons on extending the anti-terrorism provision and to influence the supreme court ... in its constitutional review of anti-terrorism provisions".
According to the Toronto Star, defence lawyers said their clients cell lights are being left on 24 hours a day, they're being forced to keep their eyes on the floor and are being woken up every 30 minutes. The lawyers said that amounted to "cruel and unusual punishment," and breached their clients' Charter rights.
