Libya News and Views Thursday, 9 August, 2001: Two leading international civil rights lawyers have joined the appeal to free the Libyan convicted of the Lockerbie bombing. Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz and leading human rights advocate Michael Mansfield have now stepped in to bolster his case. Dershowitz, writing in the Scotsman newspaper on Wednesday, said he had become concerned that the legal standard of proof beyond reasonable doubt had not been met. He also feared that "The wrong man may well have been convicted of the crime and the real mass murderer may not have been charged." Mansfield is helping the defence team.
