Ammar al-Baluchi werd in 2003 in Pakistan gevangen genomen, als één van de
samenzweerders achter de 911 aanvallen in 2001. Na langdurig te zijn
gemarteld werd hij overgebracht naar Guantanomo Bay, de illegale
gevangenis van de VS op Cuba.

Al-Baluchi werd lang vastgehouden zonder aanklacht of tussenkomst van de rechter,
pas in 2008 werd er een proces gevoerd tegen hem en i.p.v. een eigen
advocaat, werd hem een ‘onafhankelijke’ advocaat van het leger toegewezen………

Intussen
blijkt het bewijsmateriaal dat in het voordeel van al-Baluchi was, te zijn vernietigd in opdracht van de regering (Obama) iets waar leger ‘rechter’ Pohl van op de hoogte moet zijn geweest…….. Dit bewijsmateriaal zou met toestemming van Pohl aan de verdediging van al-Baluchi ter inzage worden gegeven, echter in het geheim draaide Pohl de opdracht daartoe terug…… (Nogmaals Pohl is ‘rechter…..’)

De VN
eist nu eindelijk de vrijlating van al-Baluchi, een goede zaak. Al
zou de VN de onmiddellijke vrijlating van al de Guantanomo gevangenen moeten eisen, naast de directe sluiting en afbraak van deze meer dan illegale gevangenis, immers al deze mensen zijn gemarteld, ontvoerd en gegijzeld…….

Daarover gesproken: elk van deze gevangenen door marteling verkregen zogenaamd bewijs (tegen henzelf) is van nul en generlei waarde*. Daarnaast zou de redenering van de VS volgend, marteling niet nodig zijn geweest, immers waarom martel je
gevangenen (die verdacht zijn) als je overtuigende bewijzen hebt van
hun schuld?  

Naast dit alles is veel ‘bewijs’ tegen de gevangenen in Guantanomo Bay vertrouwelijk en niet in te zien voor echte advocaten of mensenrechtenorganisaties………..

Verder kan je een enorm vraagteken zetten bij het
minimaal aantal gevoerde processen tegen verdachten in Guantanomo Bay: hoe
onafhankelijk waren en zijn de rechters (zoals Pohl) in deze zaken? De vraag
stellen is haar beantwoorden!!

Hoe is het mogelijk dat Nederland nog steeds mensen uitzet naar dit ‘land’ waar recht niet of amper bestaat….???

Weet je nog dat Obama liep te leuren met gevangenen van Guantanomo, omdat de VS het gore lef had deze door hen ontvoerde, gemartelde en illegaal vastgehouden mensen in eigen land te weigeren (na hun vasthouding in Guantanomo kunnen de meeste van deze gevangenen niet terug naar hun geboorteland, daar ze ofwel weer gevangen worden gezet, dan wel worden vermoord…..) Na zijn aantreden als president heeft het beest Trump gesteld dat Guantanomo open moet blijven en dat de VS ‘weer gewoon’ mag martelen……..

Waar zijn de landen die gevangenen van de VS uit Guantanomo overnamen met hun protest tegen deze monsterlijke, inhumane besluitvorming? Te laf om de bek open te trekken!! Dit terwijl de VS onder andere t.a.v. Nederland durfde te stellen dat de goede relatie met de VS beschadigd zou worden, als we geen gevangenen overnamen……. Nee, geen commentaar, maar het SOHR hoeft maar te melden dat gevangenen worden gemarteld door het Syrische bewind (zonder enig bewijs daarvoor) en de westerse wereld staat op haar kop……..

United
Nations Calls for Accused 9/11 Plotter to Be Released Immediately

March

Written

(AP) — A
new report from the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary
Definition  UN WGAD) condemns the illegal detention and torture of a man who
was once accused of assisting the plotters of the September 11, 2001
attacks on New York City, the Pentagon, and other planned attacks.
The UN WGAD issued the new report outlining the detainment and
torture of Ammar al Baluchi and calling for his immediate release and
financial compensation. Al Baluchi was captured in Pakistan in April
2003 before being turned over to U.S. authorities. He has been held
at a secret military prison in Cuba since 2006 after being accused of
assisting the alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM).

“Mr
al Baluchi has been subject to prolonged detention on discriminatory
grounds and has not been afforded equality of arms in terms of having
adequate facilities for the preparation of his defense under the same
conditions as the prosecution,” the
report states.
The report indicates a source close to the situation has stated that
al Baluchi was held without charge or access to a lawyer until at
least April 2008, at which point he was unable to choose his own
representation and instead given a military lawyer. “He
has been deprived of due process and the fair trial guarantees that
would ordinarily apply within the judicial system of the United
States.”

The
2014 US Senate Intelligence Committee report on torture found that al
Baluchi was taken to the CIA black site known as the Salt Pit, where
he faced torture in the form of waterboarding and other simulated
drowning techniques as well as physical beatings. The UN Working
Group said this “widespread
or systematic imprisonment or other severe deprivation of liberty” is
in violation of the rules of international law which “may
constitute crimes against humanity.”

In
response to the report, Cmdr Sarah Higgins, a Department of Defense
spokesperson, told the Independent,“The
U.S. government has the legal authority to detain al Baluchi. Until
we have time to analyse the basis of their claim, we will delay
further comment.”

At
the same time as the UN is seeking the release of al Baluchi, the
trial of KSM may face yet another delay after nearly 15 years of
dead-end hearings. Military.com
reports:

The
judge in the Sept. 11 terror case said in court Monday that he would
order Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to explain in writing why he
suddenly fired the top official overseeing the war court.

Defense
attorneys in the case are calling the dismissal foul play, in part
because some had been hopeful of negotiating a deal in the death
penalty case with Harvey Rishikof, a Mattis appointee who until Feb.
5 served as Convening Authority for Military Commissions.

Judge
Army Col. James L. Pohl stated that the court needs to know why the
dismissal took place. Pohl has been overseeing the case of the five
men accused of directing or funding the 19 hijackers accused of
crashing planes in New York City, the Pentagon, and the Pennsylvania
field on September 11, 2001.

According
to Military.com, Pohl will issue an order in writing this week and
give Mattis a deadline of March 17 for a written response explaining
the reasons for the firings.

Unfortunately,
this is not the first time the 9/11 trial has dealt with funny
business from the government. On May 11, 2016, defense lawyers for
KSM asked for judge Col. James Pohl and the
prosecution team to be recused from the trial, and for the case to be
shut down.
Defense lawyers David Nevin and Maj. Derek Poteet say that the U.S.
government destroyed evidence related to the case, according to
the New
York Times.
The two men are unable to provide further details because the issue
is classified, but Mr. Nevin said the evidence was “favorable” to
the defendants.

Major
Poteet also told the Times that
the defense was first informed in February that Colonel Pohl would
provide them with a “summary
of a substitute” for
the original, classified evidence. The defense requested Colonel Pohl
to preserve the evidence for the record and Pohl complied. Or so they
thought.

“But
they learned in February, they said, that about 20 months earlier,
and without their knowledge, prosecutors had obtained from Colonel
Pohl a secret order that reversed his previous
decision,”the Times writes. “By
the time they found out, the government had already destroyed the
evidence, giving them no opportunity to challenge the move.”

Major
Poteet said the situation created the appearance that Colonel Pohl
was “colluding
with the government.” The Times reports
that the original, now destroyed evidence, may have been related to
one of several foreign black site prisons operated by the Central
Intelligence Agency in Thailand, Poland, Romania, Lithuania and
Afghanistan, and at a secret site at the Guantánamo base. KSM was
tortured for several years at one of these sites before being
transferred to the military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba in 2006.

It
is unlikely that the public will ever get the truth about the 9/11
attacks or the trials. These men will likely rot away in secret
prisons for the rest of their lives.
