So, Canadian government is allowed to break its own law, international law and the UN Charter and bomb a foreign country, yet a Canadian citizen [especially SERB]is going to be jailed if he defends these laws! === http://www.edmontonsun.com/News/Canada/2008/06/17/5905031.html
Tue, June 17, 2008 Ex-city man jailed for taking UN hostages appeals Nicholas Ribic claims it was self-defence By The Canadian Press TORONTO - Crown lawyers say a Canadian man fighting for Serbia cannot claim self-defence to justify kidnapping a UN observer during the war in Bosnia in 1995. Nicholas Ribic, originally from Edmonton, is in the Ontario Court of Appeal to contest his conviction in the hostage-taking of Canadian Forces Capt. Patrick Rechner 13 years ago. Ribic was convicted in an Ottawa courtroom of hostage-taking and threatening death - the first time anyone had been convicted under the Criminal Code for such a crime abroad. Ribic argues the kidnapping was justified under the Criminal Code, which allows the use of reasonable force to prevent an assault - in this case, a NATO attack. The Crown, however, says Ribic had no claim to the munitions depot where Rechner was held because he had to break in to access it. They also argue Ribic's self-defence argument doesn't hold water because he had less violent means of defence at his disposal. Sept. 2005. Ten years after he helped take UN military observers hostage during the former Yugoslavia's civil war, a Canadian was sentenced yesterday to three years in prison. ------------------------------------ =============== Group Moderator: [Е-ПОШТА ЗАШТИЋЕНА] page at http://magazine.sorabia.net for more informations about current situation in Serbia http://www.sorabia.net Slusajte GLAS SORABIJE nas talk internet-radio (Serbian Only) http://radio.sorabia.net Yahoo!
