Justice Review taking submissions
Sinn Féin have submitted a damning indictment of the
British imposed legal system in Ireland to the Criminal Justice
Review Group, which is to hold a number of public consultation
seminars in the month of May.
The comprehensive and detailed document opens with an apt quote
from the late Paddy McGrory, which encapsulates the experiences of
nationalists at the hands of British injustice: "living in an
alien and hostile environment...strangers in their own land".
Attention is drawn in particular, to the independent condemnations of
international human rights' groups, from Helsinki Watch to Amensty
International, and the international ethics in law and criminal
justice aspirated by the UN.
Submissions will be taken in eight seminars throughout the six
counties this month under four workshop titles each: Cross-cutting
issues in the Criminal Justice System; Criminal Justice, the
Community and Prosecution; Courts and the Community; Custody and
Diversion: Juveniles and Adults.
The list of seminars is as follows and registartion for each can
