"In December the two fanatics were found guilty of butchering the father-of-one but their sentencing was delayed until today after Strasbourg judges said that whole-life tariffs are unlawful.
But last week senior British judges defied the European Court of Human Rights ruling, leaving Judge Justice Sweeney free to decide whether Adebolajo and Adebowlale should die behind bars."
In the face of this atrocity, the European Court of Human Rights at Strasbourg has the effrontery to make a ruling that life sentences are "unlawful". How this affects the London sentencing we shall see. Unfortunately Britain did away with its death penalty decades ago.
ReplyDeleteI saw this in one of the news stories:
Both men asked to be called by their adopted Islamic names in court - Adebolajo as Mujahid Abu Hamza, and Adebowale as Ismail Ibn Abdullah - and claimed they carried out the murder because they were "soldiers of Allah".
I wonder if there will be a speaker on this episode at the MSU Islam Awareness Week anywhere.
In the Palestinian sections of Israel, there are posters up and streets named after the killers of innocent people. How the Israelis tolerate that is hard for me to understand.
