Helen,

can't see what material witness status she could possibly have. Is she there to add to the bias? Is she going to tell the court that Gerry was in the IRA? Hardly a startling disclosure.

There is simply no need for this type of court for a case 30 years ago.

AM,

It is puzzling to all of us Anthony and to add insult to injury no one from the Swedish Prime Minister's office has even had the courtesy to reply to anyone's emails/letters/faxes this past month to even acknowledge receipt. The only one who received a reply was Martin Galvin because, as an attorney, he is helping out on Gerry's case. The letter was vague and the Swedish Prime Minister's office is passing the buck saying “it was the previous administration that released "documents" to the Brits”. That is why it is so important now that we demand that his civil servant, Helen Hedebris, not be allowed to testify for the Brits. Another disturbing element of this upcoming trial is that the British Diplock court system has imposed a media ban on reporting and Human Rights lawyers have been physically excluded from proceedings. Does that not sound like a kangaroo court to you?

Helen,

I think it is all the more disappointing because there is a tendency to expect the Swedes to be neutral. Why they want to get involved in a case which is about anything other than justice is puzzling. They have no dog in the fight yet ...
