Right UkEng.. missed that earlier - as usual, in a hurry. Thought AlRaya was Qatar's Arabic newspaper but think I'm mistaken? So, which country?

Need further information. I don't know enough here yet but I do know that there is no doctrine of binding precedent here thus leading to uncertainty - not progressive if Qatar is to be taken seriously. The legal system is not as advanced as UK or even Malaysia - the latter, heavily criticized and could be better but still...

I wonder if those "protests" are a show of force and solidarity to ensure that things remain the way they are - shrouded in secrecy and not reasonably transparent. Maybe and maybe not. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Justice must not only be done but be seen to be done - Rex v. Sussex Justices, Ex parte McCarthy ([1924] 1 KB 256, [1923] All ER 233).

Anyway, insufficient information to form a proper opinion for now.

if 33 judges are fed up enough to take a stand and risk thier livelihoods, think of how many are willing to continue in the treachery. These men are supposed to have the integrity to make judgements about life and death situations in a country lacking democracy and trials by jury; I applaud these men.

33 Judges out of how many? Will this mean people waiting for trial will end up waiting many more months than normal, because of a shortage of judges?

what crime was that

By Gypsy• 3 Mar 2009 16:15
Gypsy

Possibly. Depends if he committed the crime or not. From what I understand he did.

but what justice is there in a court of law with no defense? Anyone can be charged with anything under the sun. This incident is screaming foul play.

By Gypsy• 3 Mar 2009 16:05
Gypsy

Actually Arkiegirl, he is serving a life sentence for treason. That was his charge.

By arkiegirl• 3 Mar 2009 15:55

not spying, treason, rape, murder, etc. And finally, these judges are taking a stand, acting like real men and trying to change the level of corruption in this government. Almost 2 weeks after the incident and there is only one article about this, and it is in Arabic? Unbelievable!

I'm hoping this will lead them to review some previous rulings! My father's under life sentence due to intervention by powers at hand. Here's hoping-

it could be the otherway round? But we are unlikley to find out.

"Deaths in the Bible. God - 2,270,365

not including the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the

many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers

were given. Satan - 10."

If it ever does.

Given the ridiculousness of some of their rulings lately I say good riddance.
