Terrorist Suspects Receive Human Rights Compensation

 

I am outraged that the European court of “human rights” in Strasbourg led by so-called leading judges decided this week that the British Government should never have held terrorist suspects including Abu Qatada without trial following the attacks on 9/11. These idiots decided to award the nine terrorist a total of £75,000 including Qatada who received £2,500 because their detention “violated their right to liberty and security under the European Convention on Human Rights” according to them.  What a load of b******s, if these terrorist were running Europe do you think they would give a dam about our liberty and security.

 

The suspects had demanded compensation of more than £2million but in the end were given £75,000. Under EU law our Government cannot appeal against this decision. These criminals are given money for nothing and yet the victims of 7/7 still struggle to get reasonable compensation because of an attack that these extremists inspired and probably celebrated.

 

Jackie Putnam, who suffered memory loss and trauma after the attack said: “It seems the rules are there to protect the bad guys and the good ones get pushed aside. The suspects have won justice but there has been little or none of it for the victims of 7/7.”

 

This is unbelievable, Abu Qatada once described as “Osama Bin Laden’s right hand man in Europe” had gone on the run after 9/11 as new anti-terror laws were being drafted allowing suspects to be held. Innocent men don’t run! Thankfully in October 2002 he was tracked down to a council house in south London and arrested. Qatada, 48, was sent to London’s high-security Belmarsh jail where he remained until March 2005 when he was released on bail and made the subject of a control order. Again this was because of a breach to his “human rights.” Now I do not approve of detention without trial beyond 28 days, they should be prosecuted under our law after this time or if they are not British citizens they should be immediately deported to their own country.

 

Here is what David Cameron had to say about the EU ruling; “Unbelievably, taxpayers are going to have to pay him and other terrorist suspects thousands in compensation for detaining them. It could have been more, but I resent every penny… This case was not even about whether he might be tortured if returned home — just that he might not get a fair trial by our standards.”

 

“Why should it be our responsibility and what should we do about it? First, we should have stronger border controls. A Conservative government will set up a dedicated Border Police force. If dangerous people slip through, we should bring them to justice. A Conservative government will tear up the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights, so we can deal with human rights issues more sensibly.”

 

“It makes a mockery of human rights if we can’t protect ourselves against people who are out to destroy them for everyone else.”

Exactly why were these people even allowed into Britain in the first place? This government has been criminally negligible in this regard. They provided a safe haven in this country for some of the most vial and evil preachers of hate, and terrorist suspects because of their abysmal boarder controls. Why did it take such a tragic event like 9/11 before they woke up to this danger?

 

Some good news however came on Wednesday when the Law Lords ruled Qatada can be deported to Jordan where he has been convicted on terror charges. Fantastic, it’s only taken them 7 years to come to this conclusion because of fears he might be tortured or would not receive a fair trial in Jordan. Again this is not our problem, this man if we can call him that, is an extreme danger to this country, he is not a British citizen and as such has no right to stay here. He is Jordanian and is subject to their laws, who are we to tell them what to do to one of their citizens in their own country? The Jordanian’s warned us about letting Qatada into this country and yet the government decided to ignor them.

 

All this just proves once again the Human Rights Act is a criminal’s charter that lets them quite literally get away with murder! It’s about time that this ridiculous legislation was ripped up and replaced with an act that protects victim’s rights. The Human Rights Act is a stain on our once proud legal system that was essentially drawn up by Champaign socialists to satisfy their consciences and to provide lucrative incomes to lawyers like Cherie Booth.
