*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/-
Controversial current London Mayor Sadiq Khan rejected a Tragic Plea from the Family of a notoriously Unjustly Killed Innocent Victim, Brutaly Shot 7 times at the Head by State Agents during the former "Labour" (Socialist) Government of unpopular Tony Blair back on 2005, Not to Impose at Metropolitan Police's Top any Candidate involved in that Deadly Abuse, which Scandalously remains still Totaly UnPunished : Indeed, 12 Years Later, Nobody has yet been found Responsible and Condemned for such an unquestionably Gross Blunder, as Euro-Judges also found at the European Court of Human Rights on 2016 in Strasbourg, where the Victim's Parents had spoken to "Eurofora" already after the Public Hearing of the case, as early as back on 2015 ; (See relevant original Photos, and at : ...., as well as Infra).

Letter of Victim's Mother (to Sadiq Khan) :

---------------------------------------------------------------

- Very Outspoken, the renowned British Review "Spectator", traditionaly close to the Governing "Conservative" Party, published Today a very Critical Article, sharply Titled : - "Dick’s anti-terror cock-up should have Disqualified her from the Met’s top job".

- Because "it would seem, then, that no mistake can be too grave – not to say fatal, no error of judgment too egregious, no apparent loss of control in a crisis too serious, to disqualify someone from taking control of London’s police force", "Spectator" criticized, as far as Mayor Sadiq Khan's and JHA's choice for Dick is concerned, finding that, at least Because of Meneze's scandalous Killing of an "Innocent", "she shouldn’t have been appointed" in that top job.


- On the Contrary, "anyone with a fully developed sense of personal Responsibility – that is, for being in charge of this Disastrous operation – would have Resigned after the death of Jean Charles. Instead Cressida went for one police Promotion after another, and got them. Which goes to show that ....there (was) "no impediment to (her) rise in British public life. Not Even the Death of an Innocent man".


- The Mother of the Victim, Patricia Armani Da Silva/Menezes, had Reminded, in a recent Letter to Mayor Sadiq Khan, (revealed Today by "The Spectator"), that "Cressida Dick" was "at the Helm of the Police on that Fateful Day, when the Life of Jean (her Son) was Taken", while "the IPCC (Independent Police Complaints Commission] Investigation made strong Criticisms of the Command structure and the Decision-making that took place that day". Therefore, "as ... Family" of the Victim, "we Felt that Those at the Highest level, the Commissioner and those in Operational command, Should be Held Responsible for the Mistakes and for the MisInformation and Lies that were told" then around that Scandal.

- "We canNot ...Accept that the most Senior police Officer in the Country, a Post that is Expected to uphold the Highest Standards of Professionalism, to command Public Confidence, and ultimately be Responsible for Ensuring that No police officer acts with Impunity, be filled by Someone that is clearly Tainted by her Failure to live up to any of those Requirements".

(Dick in Photo Published by Critical British "Conservative" Review "The Spectator")

-------------

Young Electrician Jean Charles da Silva/Menezes, a White Christian of Portuguese/Brazilian origin, was calmly responding to a demand to repair a machine at South London, when, suddenly, without any Warning, nor the slightest pretext, he was Attacked and Brutaly Restrained, while several Armed Officers shot him 7 times at the Head, killing him instantly, inside the Subway, on his way to work.


Afterwards, it was claimed that some Agents had Confused him, by Error, with an absolutely Differend Man, a Radicalized Muslim Arab suspected for Complicity with the Suicide Bombers who had just Attacked twice London's Public Transports earlier that Month of July 2005, and had been Ordered to apply a controversial Procedure of immediate and unwarned killing supposed to prevent a suspected new bombing, earlier adopted by their Superiors then. But they Admitted that the Victim was absolutely Innocent, and asked to be "Excused"...  


That Unprecedented Brutal Deadly Affair had Shaken the British, European and World Public Opinion, provoked Various Protests and Campaigns, inspired even Strongly Critical Artworks etc., for Human Rights and against Total Impunity in so Serious cases, risking to provoke a Dangerous Precedent also for Orther People in the Future, and is still Remembered Nowadays, as Press Reports and Many Citizens' reactions and Criticism at the Web and/or elsewhere, clearly attest, (See f.ex. Facts cited Infra).


Even if it's True that the Islamist Terrorist London Attacks, which had Earlier Killed several Innocent Civilians, naturaly Upseted a lot of People then, (as "Eurofora"s co-Founder had Personaly Witnessed on the spot, and Published f.ex. at "TCWeekly" etc., while we Paid Hommage to the Victims at King's Cross Station, Together with a Minister, and later Visited Wounded People at a London Hospital, etc), nevertheless, it's also true that at least Some Agents had apparently Lost their Temper and/or Executed Controversial Orders, resulting into various Exceptional Abuses, (Comp., f.ex., also the Unacceptable Incidents revealed, on the occasion of a more Recent Tragic Event which occured Later in Turkey to the detriment of another Journalist, at : .....).


The First, 7 July Attacks, had killed or Wounded Many People, but all their Perpetrators were reported Dead. On the Contrary, the subsequent, July 21 attempted "Attacks" Failed, followed by the Arrest of all Suspects.


But Tony Blair's "Labour" (Socialist) Government attempted to Exploit Both, particularly in order to Push, at EU Parliament and EU Council (that the UK was Chairing then), a Controversial Bill on Mass Spying of Emails and SmartPhones, Internet Surfing and Websites, etc., (Profiting also from the Presence of former EUParliament's JHA Committee President, f. French MEP Cavada, then in London, as he had told us later-on), which was Afterwards declared Excessive, DisProportionate and Illegal, by EU's Court of Justice at nearby Luxembourg, which practicaly Cancelled them.  


Moreover, Everybody acknowledged the Fact that there was, at least, an "Institutional Responsibility" of that London Police, then, for the Uwarranted, Brutal Killing of Jean-Charles Menezes, on July 22, a fully Innocent Person, (Comp. Supra).


However, Nobody has been yet declared Responsible for that Gross, Deadly Blunder, and, therefore, Nobody has been Punished, until now, (12 Years Later), resulting in a Scandalous and Dangerous, Total Impunity even for a so Brutal Killing of an Innocent, which was, raportedly, obtained, mainly after a Pressing Push by the Assistant Commissioner of that Time : Mrs Cressida Dick, which was in charge of such kind of Operations, and Strongly Insisted, during the subsequent Investigations, Claiming that Noone in particular beared any Criminal Responsibility for such a Violent, Unwarned and unwarranted Murder.

But it's precisely Mrs Dick that, Today, Sadiq Khan wants to Impose at the  Head of London's Metropolitan Police, as its New Chief, without objection by the current JHA Minister, Despite a Desperate Plea by the Family of the UnJustly Killed Young Electrician, who Vainly Urged him to "Veto" her Bid for that Top Job, at least as long as Nobody has been Punished for such a Brutal Murder of an Innocent Victim of an obviously Scandalous Deadly Blunder committed by State Agents. On the Contrary, the current Mayor obviously Rejected the Innocent Victim's Family Plea, and "Warmly Welcomed" the Choice of the former Assistant Commissioner, in charge on 2005 for the Operations which resulted in Jean-Charles de Menezes' Violent and UnJust Killing, for the delicate Job of New London Police Chief, provoking a lot of Incomprehension and Criticism by many People (See Facts cited Infra).

 

 According to the "Associated Press", the Victim's Family, which had called for Dick not to be given that Top Job in Scotland Yard, expressed "Serious Concerns"  : - "The message of Today's Appointment is that Police Officers can act with Impunity", reportedly denounced cousin Patricia Armani Da Silva on behalf of Menezes' Family.

( Sir Bernard Hogan-Howes, Mrs Thornston + Mrs Dick )


+ Moreover, Sadiq Khan has reportedly Preferred Dick, as allegedly the "Best" for him, by Choosing her instead of several Other Candidates, (also Female Police Officers), who had already the Experience of some very Important, Top Responsibility Jobs inside the British Police : F.ex. the Director General of the National Crime Agency, Lynne Owens, and the President of the National Police Chief's Council, Sara Thornton, (etc).


++ In Addition, Khan has even, reportedly, Pushed, previously, towards the Resignation of the current Metropolitan Police Chief, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, who had been Chosen by the Conservative Government since 2011, in replacement of his Predecessor, Sir Ian Blair, (in charge during the Former "Labour" (Socialist) Government in the Past), and had, Meanwhile, become Famous not only for succeeding to ensure the Security of the International Olympic Games on 2012, but also to Dare pursue various "Hot" Investigations for Crimes even against alleged Suspects with Strong positions in the Society and/or the State, and Top Political Backing, (See Infra, particularly about various 2014-launched Inquiries, f.ex. on suspicions of serious Abuses of Children, etc).

(Sir Ian Blair)

As Sir Ian Blair, (Controversial former Chief of London Police on 7.2005 Da Silva/Menezes Killing, linked to Labour Party during UnPopular f. PM Tony Blair, with whom he studied in Oxford, before being Dismissed after the Election of Conservative Mayor Boris Johnson, currently UK Foreign Minister), also Dick has a large "Political" dimension, (particularly on Foreign Policy) after serving for years (2014-2017) as Director General of UK's Foreign Office.

r._dick_400

( R. Dick )

She had been Promoted as "Assistant Commissioner" on 2009, i.e. during a Former "Labour" ((Socialist) Government of the Past, but had Resigned from the Police on 2014, during the current Conservative Government, when she had been reMoved from her previous Counter-Terrorism role and put in charge of Crime and Sexual Offences, (including Child Abuse : See Infra). It's then that she preferred to take the unusual decision to join the more Political area of the Foreign Office, until now. 

 

Cressida was reportedly a "Protegée of Sir Ian Blair", the notorious "Politicaly" oriented pro-Labour (Socialist) former Chief of Metropolitan Police, later pushed out by Johnson, (comp. Supra).


Both Sir Ian and Dick had a Chance to be Educated at "Oxford", (the 1st also at Los Angeles, California, US, while the 2nd took a paid Leave from her Job to add a "Master"), as Tony Blair, while the young Menezes worked as simple Electrician who struggled to earn a few Money to send to his Poor Family in Brazil.


She served also as former Head of the "Diverse" Unity, where she got a Reputation of a "Reformer", in a period during which a Report had just accused the British Police to be "Institutionaly Racist", on the occasion of an Old affair of the Past, concerning a violent Death which had occured back on April 1993, in a quarell between Individuals : the "Laurence" case, resulting in the Condamnation of 2 suspects for Murder, more than 17 Years Later, after 3 Trials and Investigations at the Cost of 16 Millions £, with the Support of many Government Top Politicians then, as f.ex. former Foreign Minister Straw, etc. (Something that Da Silva/Menezes never had, since, on the Contrary,  all those involved in his Killing by State Agents still remain totaly Unpunished).


Still on 2012, an Article she published herself in Newspaper "Guardian", claimed that "Nothing in Met's History had Greater Impact" than "Laurence" case, and praised Labour (Socialist) former Foreign Minister "Straw" for claiming that it "opened all our eyes to what it is to be Black or Asian in Britain Today", (without even mentioning at all Other Migrants, f.ex. Latin Americans, as the brutaly murdered on 2005 Jean Charles de Menezes).


But, even after that, Dick claimed that, despite some Changes, the Police would always Remain "institutionally Racist", and was unlikely to be ever free of Racism.


This was clearly stressed in her Press Statements, (See, f.ex., "Independent" 's Heading : "We are Still Racists, Police Chief admits", BBC's : "Met Police still Racist", etc), where Cressida Dick also Criticized those who make any "links" between "Muslims, Terrorism and Asylum Seekers".

All that, taken together, Obviously might explain why Dick was now prefered to Other Candidates by  Mayor Sadiq Khan, of Pakistani origin, who had notoriously emerged from a Muslim Lobby in the UK, before being adopted by a wing of the Labour Party, facing even Strong Criticism for Direct Contacts with various Extremist Islamists, including some suspected for Islamic Terrorist links, even by former Prime Minister David Cameron, etc. Something that Sadiq Khan largely Admitted, mainly Claiming that it would not be so serious, and/or that he wasn't always aware then, or that it concerned mostly his Past, and not his present career.

London's 1st "Muslim Fashion" show (2017)

However, at least judging by some Recent Facts, (f.ex. an Unprecedented Muslim "Fashion" Show, and/or Photos published even by himself at his own Twitter account, etc), the spreading of Muslim Culture looks quite advanced in London, after his Election, (that the Famous "Drudge Report" in the USA had saluted under the Shocking Heading : "Londonistan", as UK Press observed).

sadiq_khan_and_his_pals_in_his_own_twitter_account_2.2017_400 

Sadiq Khan and his Pals, (in his own Twitter account, 2.2017)


While other, British Media, expressed Fears even for an eventual aggravation of Islamic Terrorist Attacks in the Future : Already, recent 2016 Facts might go in this direction, particularly after the Deadly Knife Attacks Killing an American Woman, (Wife of a University Professor at Florida, US), and Wounding 6 more People, near the British Museum at downtown London, committed by an African Immigrant from Somalia (one of the Countries currently Suspended for 3 Months from Immigrating into the USA by New POTUS Don Trump), who seems to have had various Personal and Family links to Islam (See, f.ex. : http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/lnopolicemanatlondonknifemassterrorattack.html), and even visited London Mosques just before that Deadly Terrorist Aggression, according to the latest news.                                                                                                                                                            


+ But there might even be much More than that, as several Converging Facts suggest :

bbc_on_professor_alexis_jay_report_400
 
(From BBC: "Rotherham child abuse scandal: 1,400 children exploited, report finds")


Inter alia, an Official Enquiry, headed by Professor Alexis Jay, found that "at least 1.400 Children were subjected to appalling Sexual Exploitation ..between 1997 and 2013", at a Labour (Socialist) stronghold in England, (around Rotherham, South Yorkshire, Electoral base of former MP and Minister for EU Affairs on 2002-2005, McShane, who resigned), "predominantly by Gangs of British - Pakistani men", where "Abuses described included Abduction, Rape, Torture and sex Trafficking of Children", as "Wikipedia" reminds. The Inquiry team found, f.ex., "children who had been doused in Petrol and Threatened with being set alight, threatened with Guns, made to witness brutally Violent Rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone", as "BBC" noted.  A main Problem for the astonishing Indifference and/or "Contempt" shown by several Policemen and/or Social Workers, Politicians, etc, vis a vis the Victims for Years, was, as that Report Denounced, "Nervousness about Identifying the Ethnic Origins of Perpetrators, for Fear of being thought as Racist", while even some Staff "remembered clear Direction from their Managers Not to do so". In consequence, former JHA Minister, nowadays Prime Minister, Theresa May, Blamed the Failure of the Authorities on "Institutionalised Political Correctness".

Part of that Muslim Rape Gang 90% from Pakistan, (related to 300 Suspects, among whom 18 were Judged and Condemned between 2015-2017), reportedly shouted - "Allahu Akbar !" in Court on January 2017, as it confirmed their Jailing for Raping, Drugging and Abusing Children aged 11 - 13 y.o., Convicting for 21 Historic Sex Offences, and given Sentences of between 10 and 20 Years each, for such Crimes committed between 1999 - 2001, 6 culprits : (Matloob Hussain, brothers Basharat, Nasser, Tayab Dad, and Mohammed Sadiq).

 

4_members_of_the_pakistani_muslim_gang_of_child_rapists_whose_uk_citizenship_is_revoked_400

(4 Members of the Pakistani Muslim Gang of Child Rapists whose UK Citizenship is reportedly Revoked)


Recently, on February 2017, the British Courts endorsed the Revocation of UK Citizenship from the first 4 Condemned Members of that Gang of Children Abusers, who Now Risk to be Expulsed Back to Pakistan, as PM Theresa May had notoriously wished, already in the Past, for particularly Apalling Crimes, (i.e. Abdul Rauf, Shabir Ahmed, Abdul Aziz, and Adil Khan).


It's on mid-2014 that Professor Alexis Jay's Report was Published on that Children Abuse Scandal, (for which several Policeme and Politicians expressed Remords and Excused themselves vis a vis the Victims and their Families), and, by a Coincidence, it's also that Same Year that Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick left the Police, (at the End of 2014), when New Investigations on another, Differend the "Midland" affair and other various cases of alleged Child Sex Abuses, allegedly involving Other various Top Politicians (even a former Defense Minister, Prime Minister, MPs, etc), had just Started.


However, Later-on, in 2016, in the Midland affair, Police concluded that, even if the Disappearance of a Child remained still not elucidated, nevertheless, it had failed to find sufficient proof for 2 other alleged killings of abused children, particularly after the credibility of a key witness raised Doubts, and, therefore, that particular Inquiry was abandoned.


Naturaly, some UK Medias reported, and the British Police partly Confirmed, that, in fact, there are still Various Other On-Going or even New Investigations about alleged Child Sex Abuse, eventualy involving suspicions of some High Rise Political and/or other Public Figures nowadays, but that Fauilure of the Costly Midland Operation had several repercussions.

(Sir Hogan-Howe)

In the Aftermath of that, Dick's predecessor, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, who had become Metropolitan Police Chief since 2011, i.e. shortly after (and reportedly with the Support of) former London's Mayor Boris Johnson (currently UK Foreign Minister), and the Conservative UK Government took office, and who has Served During Both those 2 Child Abuse Investigations, (i.e. the "Rotherham" and the "Midland" affairs, with Contrasted Results, Comp. Supra), suddenly, even if initialy due to stay for 4 more years, and aged only 58 y.o., was reportedly pushed to Resign, particularly by the current London Mayor Sadiq Khan.

 

zac_goldsmith
 
(Zac Goldsmith)

Sadiq Khan had earlier got his new job, after evicting 3 Other "Labour" Competitors, and following a controversial Electoral Campaign against Conservative Candidate Zac Goldsmith, who was notoriously active on Natural Environment issues as well as against Child Abuse, and had Strongly Pushed for Official Investigations to Start, already since 2014 (Comp. Supra), but also supported their Extension to Further Child Sexual Abuses allegations, during the 2015-2016 London Mayoral Campaign, even if they might eventualy involve some alleged suspects from his own, Conservative Party's history, while, at the same time, clearly Criticizing Khan's reported contacts with various Islamic Radicals in the Past, (Comp. Supra).


All these Facts, added to Met. Police's Out-going Chief, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe's Past Service (2011-2017) during that Pakistani Gang of Child Abusers and Other, Differend Cases of alleged Child Sex Abuse suspicions, even if related to various Politicians, (Comp. Supra), as well as to the Fact that he had notoriously succeeded to his predecessor, Sir Ian Blair, responsible for Met. Police during the 2005 Jean-Charles de Menezes Brutal Killing, which, on the Contrary, remained Totaly UnPunished (Comp. Supra), as well as his alleged "Protegée", the Incoming 2017 Met Police Chief, reportedly chosen by Mayor Sadiq Khan, obviously raise inevitable Critical Question Marks, and, possible Citizens' Concerns about eventual Risks to push London Police towards a culture of similar Impunity in the foreseable Future.


And this Impunity Risks, as usual, go Both for the Citizens, and Police Officers (as well as any Other State Officials) themselves, taken Together.


-----------------------
"Cesar's Wife" ?
------------------------------


Naturaly, according also to several Members of a UK Jury in the Menezes' Killing affair, Mrs Dick wasn't held personaly responsible by them at all for what had happened on July 2005, under Sir Ian Blair's term as former London Police Chief.


And an ECHR's controversial Ruling, (After a 2015 Hearing initialy chaired by experienced former ECHR President Spielman, from Luxembourg), issued on March 2016, under its New, then, President Raimonti, from Italy, unexpectedly White-washed, by a Majority, Tony Blair's former "Labour" (Socialist) UK Government about the Brutal Killing of Jean-Charles da Silva/Menezes, claiming that there would be Nothing illegal in the way that it had Investigated that Cold-Blood Murder of an Innocent Person, even if it had Failed to find anyone Responsible for that.


Obviously Risking to become one among the Most Controversial Rulings in ECHR's History, and having already provoked the Dismay of various notable People, including of the Victim's Family and Friends, (several among the International Human Rights' Community, etc), that UnPrecedented Text was Published, by a Striking Coincidence, at an Exceptional Moment, when "Eurofora"s co-Founder (who had Personaly Witnessed both the July 2005 London Tragic Events but also Abuses on the spot, and Met with Members of that Victim's Family and its Lawyers at ECHR's 2015 Hearing in Strasbourg : Comp. Supra),

echr_da_silva__menezes_lawyer_speaks_to_eurofora_after_the_hearing_400 

was suddenly Hindered to be Informed and Work, after a Non-Elucidated Intoxication which had Seriously Threatened our Health and even Life at that Precise Period of Time, Obliging into an Unprecedented, Urgent Hospitalisation, (while someone had even Blocked our CoE's Press emails' account informing about ECHR's activities at that Same Time !).

 

Moreover, at least 4 important EuroJudges, from Big CoE Member States, such as Russia, Poland, Turkey and Spain, etc., Strongly and Openly Criticized that Controversial Ruling, by Publishing their "Dissenting Opinions", which Noted Many concrete Discrepancies in those Inquiries of the Past, (Many having already been Noted even by the British Jury which had initialy checked that affair in the UK), and Clearly Denounced the Main Stumbling Block : i.e. that, 12 Years Later, Nobody had been yet found Responsible nor Punished for such a Scandalous Brutal Killing of an undeniably Innocent Victim by State Agents, something clearly "Unacceptable", according to ECHR's traditional Human Rights' Principles.


Last, but not least, Published shortly Before a Crucial popular Referendum on "BREXIT", that Exceptionaly Controversial ECHR's Ruling might, probably, had been, at least Partly, motivated also by a Discrete but Real Concern to Avoid, at that Unique Moment, Anything which might, eventualy, Upset a British Establishment which had already expressed earlier some notorious Criticism vis a vis ECHR itself, added to Threats to withdraw from that CoE's body of Historic Importance for all Europe...


But, at any case, it's also a Fact that, on 2017,  Dick may have Easily found any Other Top Job, which could both be Interesting for her Personal Career, and Avoid any People's Concerns about eventual Risks for similar Impunity of serious Police Abuses in the foreseable Future.


Otherwise, as a matter of General Principle, obviously, if even when an undeniably Innocent Person can be so Brutally Killed by State Agents, in an Admitted Gross Blunder, withOut anyone being held Responsible, Nor Punished, then, People's Fears for Risks of Similar Total Impunity also for comparatively lesser eventual Abuses, can appear quite Legitimate.


>>> Did anyone Forget that World Famous, Historic saying, about "Cesar's Wife" ? Concerning particularly important Public Officials of any State, it's Important, Not Only to Be Honest, but also for that to be Crystal-Clear and Unquestionable for the People....


Significantly, Mr. Sadiq Khan's "Twitter" account was Submerged by very Numerous and Strongly Critical Remarks by a lot of People who, precisely, Denounced his Rejection of the Plea made by the Family of the Brutaly Killed, innocent Young Jean Charles da Menezes, after an unquestionably Gross Blunder by London Police back on 2005, which, scandalously still remains Totaly UnPunished, as also several EuroJudges denounced on 2016 in Strasbourg (Comp. Supra).


Here are the Copies of some among those Numerous Examples of Open Citizens' criticism already Published at Sadiq Khan's own website (as "Comments"), on a core Human Rights issue, ("edited" only there where a few Harsh Words had, naturaly, to be erased) :

 politkovskaya_gongadze_adali_400

Hu Jia's prize brings SAKHAROV's wife to "EuroFora" on murders of Journalists Politkofskaya, Gongadze and Adali :

- Elena Bonner : "All Journalists' murders must be fully investigated", without Double Standards.                                                                                    

During a special Mega-Event to celebrate 20 Years of SAKHAROV Prize for "Freedom of Thought", attributed in 2008 by EU Parliament to jailed Chinese Cyber-Dissident Hu JIA, the move was reinforced by strongly criticizing the persisting impunity in three cases of Journalists' Murders, such as POLITKOVSKAYA in Russia, GONGADZE in Ukraine, and ADALI in Turkish-occupied part of Cyprus.

Any bureaucratic doubt about whether Cyber-dissidents like Hu JIA might have, or not, a right to be protected as all Journalists must be, particularly when they take risks to search, find and publish original and critical News on issues of general interest to the society, could not resist to the emotion provoked by the message of his Wife, Zeng JINYAN spectacularly transmitted at a big screen in EU Parliament's hemicycle :

- "The most important and most interesting thing he did was to ... say the Truth :.. to write about the phenomena he observed... He never stopped Publishing.. on websites, so that the Public could learn about the reality .. and understand it.  In my view, this has been his greatest contribution", stressed the young wife of the jailed man, eager to cite also the cases of other critical journalists who faced various kinds of "harassment".

 - "Welcoming all those who have suffered for defending Human Rights", EU Parliament's President, German MEP Hans Gert POETTERING, who had invited to Strasbourg all former Sakharov prize-winners from various Countries throughout the World, said that "China needs Europe, and Europe needs China : A great nation" with which "we want to have a good relationship", "association and ..friendship". "But we are never going to stop our fight for Human Rights, and No Government can expect this from us".

    - "It's impossible  to achieve goals of Peace, if Human Rights are left out. In fact, Peace and Human Rights are intrinsequaly linked", added POETTERING.

    It's in this spirit that MEPs adopted, on Thursday, a Resolution denouncing that "the criminal
investigation and trial following the murder of (a) Journalist ...raises serious concerns with regard to transparency and respect for the rule of law", when a "brutal killing has not yet been fully investigated and solved in a satisfactory way".

    The text refered to dissident Journalist "Anna POLITOVSKAYA", a critic of Tchechen conflict, killed some years ago in Moscow, where Russian Authorities have found, arrested and are currently judging two executants, while also searching to arrest also a 3rd one, allegedly escaped in Belgium. But they have not yet found the instigators.

     Similar texts were adopted recently also on dissident Ukranian Journalist Georgiy GONGADZE's murder, for which Ukranian Authorities have at least found, arrested and condemned 2 executants to 12 and 13 Years of jail, but not yet the instigators. For that purpose, they recently accepted an International Experts team to participate to the investigations.     

But, it's only for the Murder of dissident Turkish Cypriot Journalist ADALI, in the occupied territories of Cyprus, that Turkey has NOT yet found ANYONE responsible, and even claimed recently inside CoE that it would be "impossible" to do so !    

These astonishing differences exist despite the fact that ECHR condemned alike Ukraine and Turkey with 2 Judgements on the same year : 2005, for the murders of  Journalists GONGADZE and ADALI, strong critics of Corruption in Ukraine, and of Ankara's policies on mass-influx of Turkish Settlers in the Occupied Territories of Cyprus, respectively.    

Regarless of that, CoE's Committee of Ministers, who is entrusted with the duty to supervise execution of ECHR's judgements, has just asked Ukraine's Government to reply to further questions on Gongadze's murder before March 2009, while Turkey, curiously, got a longer postponement for answering questions on Adali's murder, until June...   

A comparison of these cases, raises serious questions about Double Standards :

------------------------

On TRANSPARENCY :
--------------------------
    On Gongadze's murder, CoE's body speaks even about the participation of
"an INTERNATIONAL group of Experts" in the Investigation, (f.ex. of "Tape Recordings"), accepted by Ukraine.
    On the contrary, on Adali's murder, CoE is obliged to repeatedly ask (for a 2nd
time) Turkey whether, at least, it informed the victims' Family, or not...
------------------------------
- On EFFICIENCY :
-----------------------
On Gongadze's murder, CoE formally "recalls that the Committee (of Ministers) ..URGED the Ukranian authorities.. to TAKE ALL NECESSARY INVESTIGATIVE STEPS TO ACHIEVE CONCRETE and VISIBLE RESULTS in the INVESTIGATION, aimed at the Identification of the INSTIGATORS and Organisers of the Murder", and "STRONGLY INVITED the Ukranian Authorities to provide information on the PROGRESS IN THE INVESTIGATION", before MARCH 2009.

But, on Adali's murder, on the contrary, CoE's body merely .. "took note" of the "arguments presented by" Cyprus, which denounce the absence of any proof of new "investigation" by Turkey. Following Turkey's own suggestion (!), it simply "noted" that there is "no limitation period" for "any new element" to "lead potentialy (sic !) to a Re-Opening of the Investigation". Without saying who might find any such "new" fact, since Turkey stoped searching... It also POSTPONED the issue until .. JUNE  !
-----------------------
 - On the PUNISHMENT OF THOSE RESPONSIBLE :
----------------------
 -  On Gongadze's murder case, Ukranian Authorities already arrested and condemned, at least 2 suspects, to 12 and 13 Years of jail. And on Politkovskaya's murder at least 2 suspects are judged, and a 3rd one "wanted".

On the contrary, on Adali's murder case, the Turkish authorities simply claim that "it had not been possible to obtain new .. information .. on the basis of which criminal charges could be brought against ANY person" !...

Moreover,  a LETTER sent by Turkey ...2 Years after CoE's 2006 call to re-investigate anew Adali's murder case, is totally EMPTY of Facts ! As Cypus' Delegation denounced earlier, Turkey's Letter ONLY CLAIMS that a "New Investigation" was made without any result, but does NOT even cite ANY FACT to prove it :

F.ex.,on the crucial issue of the "MOTIVATIONS" behind Adali's murder, noted by ECHR, Turkey MERELY CLAIMS that "all allegations  were investigated; without result", but OMITS ANY FACT TO PROVE IT !..(It doesn't even remind which were these "allegations").. .

+ On ECHR's astonishment that the Turkish Occupation regime didn't produce any "BALLISTIC REPORT" on the Shots which murdered Adali, Turkey again repeats, 12 years later, that, still, even until now, "it  was not possible to obtain the BalisticReport"...

- As for the astonishing absence of key-WITNESSES' Testimonies, denounced by ECHR, Turkey agains repeats various pretexts avoiding to reveal anything, (Fex. that a person "left" the Occupied Territories  "on 2002", or that another witness was heard, but without revealing nothing of what he said, etc).

Turkey obviously "FAILS TO MEET THE CRITICISM made BY THE COURT" for lack of any efficient Investigation in Adali's case, concluded Cyprus' Government.
---------------------------------------------
Replying to our Question which COMPARED these 3 outstanding cases of "JOURNALISTS MURDERS", Adali, Gongadze and Politkovskaya, in order to avoid "Double Standards" by asking from Ukraine and Russia more than what is asked EU candidate Turkey, many European personalities were critical /

They criticised Ankara's recent claim at the CoE to stop investigating, because it would be "impossible to find anyone" responsible for the 5 bullet shots which killed Kutlu ADALI in front of his Family Home, contrary to the other two Journalists' murders, where Ukraine and Russia at least arrested the executants, searching now for the instigators :
----------------------------------

    - "Where was that ? In Turkish Occupied Cyprus ? WITHOUT ANY DOUBT : Any murder of Journalist should be investigated in full ! All these Murders must be investigated !", replied the famous SAKHAROV's wife, Elena BONNER to our question on Adali's case, compared to Gongadze and Politofskaya.

    Elena Bonner spoke us EXCLUSIVELY shortly after being honored by the President
of EU Parliament on the occasion of 20 Years of her husband's SAKHAROV Prize.

    A strong personality, Sakharov's wife even had to struggle against an anonymous EU staffer who, astonishingly, tried to stop her speaking when h heard our question on "Turkey" (!) : - "Please, let me translate, she continues
speaking, don't stop us !", had to cry Sakharov's daughter, (a Journalist
herself), who was translating her mothers' reply, (obliged to speak louder to
make her voice heard despite the harassment).. (= + Audio Proof !)

    Earlier, Elena Bonner also fustigated "Double Standards" at another case, on
Western countries' attitude vis a vis Kosovo and the Kurds : -F.ex. "You have
recognized a few 400.000 Kosovars as an "independent" country, but you still
deny that to 30 millions of Kurds in Turkey !", she denounced.
-----------------------------
    - "This (ADALI's murder) is an issue which should be pursued by the Committee
for Human Rights. That's why we have one, and it's its duty to examine cases of
Journalists' murders as the one you referred to. You should bring the case in
front of that Committee", suggested in reply to our question on Adali, EU
Parliament's President, German MEP Hans Gert POETTERING.

    - "It's impossible  to achieve goals of PEACE, if HUMAN RIGHTS are left out :
in fact, Peace and Human Rights are intrinsequaly linked", added POETTERING.
--------------------------------------
    + "For us (European/International Federation of Journalists) it's clear :
Whenever a Journalist is Murdered, the Investigation should continue until
those Responsible are found !", replied earlier to another question on ADALI
EFJ/IFJ's Secretary General, Aidan WHITE.

    Speaking as a matter of General Principle, White asked us for "concrete data"
on the execution of ECHR's judgement on Adali case, in order to "look at it in
depth" and "make a formal statement", in comparison with the other Murdered
Journalist case, also pending at CoE's  Ministers for completing its execution,
on Ukranian Gongadze.
----------------------------------------------------
     From EU Rapporteur on Human Rights, vice-President of EU Parliament Liberties' Committee, MEP Giusto CATANIA, we were told that, since there is an ECHR judgement in both Adali and Gongadge's cases, "Turkey must naturally execute the judgement and make a full and efficient investigation, until those responsible for the Journalist's murder are found and punished".

    Even if "we (Catania's "EuroLeft" Group) support Turkey's EU perspectives, this does not mean that Ankara should not behave properly. On the contrary, it means that they have to meet tough conditions, particularly on Human Rights", was added on the occasion of Adali's murder case.

    Moreover, "since you raise the issue of Mr. Adali's muder as a part of a Series of Journalist's murders, including fex. Gongadze, Politkovskaya, ao., tthen we (EU) could also act together with CoE's Commissioner on Human Rights, Thomas HAMMARBERG, it was suggested.

    - "We (EU) must step up efforts against the problem of IMPUNITY : Real Peace cannot exist without Justice",  stressed also this week at EU Parliament in Strasbourg, French Minister on Human Rights, Mrs Rama YADE.
