[I suppose we're expected to believe that if Greek nationals had been apprehended intruding on and taking photographs of some 17 key British military installations they would have been invited for tea with Tony at 10 Downing Street and perhaps be granted an audience with the Queen...] http://www.abc.net.au/news/2002/04/item20020427104303_1.htm Sat, Apr 27 2002 3:18 PM AEST Plane-spotters sentences 'disproportionate': British politicians British politicians have reacted angrily to a Greek court decision to jail a group of so-called plane spotters, people whose hobby is to record the details of aircraft. The 14 plane spotters, from Greece's NATO allies Britain and the Netherlands, are appealing against sentences of between one and three years. A group of 14 British and Dutch plane spotters was arrested in November last year in southern Greece and charged with taking pictures in a military zone. The eight receiving jail sentences were found guilty of espionage although, amidst confusing scenes in the Greek courtroom, it appears they will be allowed to return home while they appeal against their sentences. The other six plane spotters were found guilty of aiding and abetting and have been given suspended sentences of one year in jail. British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw saysthe Greek response to the situation has been disproportionate. A Conservative MP who represents two of the plane spotters described their conviction as extraordinary and bizarre. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
