The author’s counsel claims that his requests are ignored by all branches of the Government. He also submits that granting an official pardon to this person, accepting fictitious documents as confession, and accepting such fraudulent documents prepared by the police as part of the agreement on conditional pardon constituted egregious law violations. The author’s counsel also refers to the fact that charges were drafted against the author even before the commencement of the recording of his statement. He reiterates that the whole judicial procedure was flawed, biased, and unconstitutional. Recalling that five years elapsed since the adoption of the Committee’s Views, the author’s counsel observes that there has been no initiative from the State party to implement this decision.The author’s counsel invites the Committee, in particular, to expose the unconstitutional nature of the judicial process concerning the author, and to assist him in finding appropriate legal assistance to make progress in the author’s case. |
